Ten Minutes by Tractor 'Down the Hill' Pinot Noir 2022
The Wine
Vineyard Components: Coolart Road 84%, Paradigm Hill 16%
Handpicked and hand sorted and (mostly) destemmed (some whole bunch used in separate parcels) this fruit was fermented in a mixture of concrete and stainless steel fermenters. A cold soak for 4-5 days before a wild yeast fermentation with an average of 14 days on skins. The wine was then pressed to tank and racked to barrel keeping all the individual parcels separate Aged in a combination of old and new puncheons and barriques.
The deep red purple colour of this wine does not disappoint. A brooding mix of savoury characters; charcuterie and hints of leather together with blue and dark fruits and a striking raspberry edge. The palate is layered, sultry, and complex and will provide much joy in the years ahead. TMXT
