Winehouse Maker of the Month | Bass Phillip

This month at Farmer’s Daughters Wine House, we’re shining a light on Bass Phillip, one of those producers that wine lovers tend to get pretty excited about, and for good reason.

Based in South Gippsland, Bass Phillip has built a reputation over the years for wines that are thoughtful, expressive, and very much shaped by their environment. There’s a real focus on minimal intervention in the winery, letting the fruit and the vineyard speak for themselves. The end result is wines that feel honest, balanced, and full of character.

For this feature, we’ve chosen two wines that offer a great snapshot of what they do so well. The 2023 Estate Chardonnay is all about finesse. It is bright, textured, and layered, with a natural acidity that keeps everything fresh and lively. It’s the kind of wine that works just as well for a casual glass as it does when you want to sit down and really think about what you’re drinking.

Alongside it, the 2021 Nebbiolo brings something a little different to the table. It is structured and aromatic, with fine tannins and a bit of grip, while still carrying a sense of elegance that ties everything together. It’s a great option for anyone looking to explore beyond the usual varieties and try something with a bit more edge.

Both wines are available as part of our premium tasting flights, where you can try three standout wines for $50. It’s designed to be approachable, whether you know exactly what you’re looking for or just want to discover something new. If you’re settling in for a while, you can add on a selection of snacks that pair nicely with what’s in your glass.

At the end of the day, this feature is all about giving people the chance to experience a producer like Bass Phillip in a way that feels relaxed and accessible. No pressure, no rules, just really good wine, poured the way it should be.
