The Wine

The 2022 season started with a very wet and variable spring before and during flowering, resulting in small bunches and reduced yields across most sites. However, the exceptional summer and autumn months that followed provided perfect ripening conditions that generated great concentration and striking flavours across all varieties.

Vineyard Components : Coolart Rd (73%), Capella (21%), Wallis (6%)

Grapes were hand picked and sorted on our sorting table before being destemmed • fermented by wild yeast in a blend of stainless steel and concrete tanks • 18-21 days on skins and then pressed and racked to oak • the wine was aged in a combination of new and old French oak for 10 months • complete malolactic fermentation.

Alluring cherry blossom, rose petal and lift of exotic spice provide a wonderful entré to this expressive vintage. The mix of bright red currant, mulberry and blueberry fruits are entwined in fine velvety tannins that make you question why you would ever choose anything but Pinot Noir! TMXT

About the Wine Maker

Ten Minutes by Tractor’s first labelled vintage took place in 2000, a partnership of 3 family owned vineyards coming together to produce wine for the first time under one label. Martin and Karen Spedding purchased the company in 2004 retaining the personal and commercial relationships with the founding growers of which you can find their names immortalised on some of the single vineyard bottlings each year. Fast forward to current day and Ten Minutes by Tractor has solidified themselves amongst some of the most sought after producers of the Mornington Peninsula producers along with arguably some of the best single vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir bottlings in Australia. The epicentre of the winery’s history is firmly rooted in the subregion of Main Ridge, where several of their single vineyard wines are sourced from alongside owned and leased vineyards around Balnarring + Merricks.
