The 2024 Bass Phillip Premium Chardonnay from Gippsland, awarded 96 points by Angus Hughson (WinePilot) and 94 points by Huon Hooke (The Real Review).
A wine that whispers rather than shouts, choosing subtlety over overt displays of power. Tightly bound, with layers of flint, blanched almond, citrus and oatmeal offering a compelling opening. A strong Burgundian theme here, with the chalky, citrus flavours compact, well defined and focussed, tension and vigour keeping weighty flavours in check. Fantastic energy and shape which guarantees a long and fruitful future. Drink 2032-2046. - Angus Hughson, WinePilot (96 pts)

94 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review
“Medium-full yellow colour; smoky, bready yeast lees and buttery pie crust aromas, the palate rich and round, soft and ample, with intense lemony core surrounded by pastry and buttery shortbread flavours, finishing with a firming grip of tannin and some alcohol warmth. Long finish. A generous, worked wine, in classic Burgundy style.”
