Bass River 2023 Pinot Noir '1835'

The 2023 Bass River '1835' Pinot Noir is a tribute to the pioneering history of the region, crafted from the estate’s premium blocks in South Gippsland. This 2023 release is defined by its vibrant energy and "cool-climate" precision, reflecting a season that allowed for slow flavour development and excellent acid retention.

The nose is highly aromatic, featuring bright red cherries, wild strawberries, and a signature touch of damp earth and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is silky and mid-weighted, with fine-grained tannins that provide a sophisticated structure without overshadowing the pure fruit core.

It is a classic expression of the Bass River style; elegant, balanced, and deeply rooted in the unique river-fringe terroir of the estate.
