The Wine

The 2023 Estate Chardonnay is a blend of the estate's top single vineyards, Gabrielle, Mills, McCutcheon and Wallis. Each site adds a layer of complexity to the Ten Minutes signature Chardonnay. All fruit is hand picked, hand sorted and whole bunch pressed separately, lightly racked then transferred into seasoned french oak barrels for wild fermentation. Malolactic was spontaneous and completed varying levels across the barrel selection. The wine is matured for 10 months in French oak barrels (17% New) then transferred to concrete for a further 6 weeks before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

A truly delightful wine exhibiting notes of white nectarine alongside baked lemon tart and cinnamon spice that marries seamlessly with its mineral edge. Its subtle complexity is complemented by a creamy mascarpone nuance -fresh, enduring, and well-rounded, with a gentle phenolic grip that persists. Well done!

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.
