Notes:
With three exquisitely picturesque vineyards roughly a ten-minute tractor ride from each other, the eponymous Ten Minutes by Tractor winery makes one sit up and take notice. Hailed as a "five star winery" by James Halliday, the wines regularly feature in the recommendations of Australian wine guru, Huon Hooke, not to mention getting full marks from Jancis Robinson M.W. for their thorough representation of Mornington Peninsula.
The vineyards are located on Main Ridge, the highest part of the region, thus the winery's forte of superbly crafted cool climate Chardonnays and Pinots that show the intense lingering flavours of a long, slow ripening season.
Tasting notes:
Palest lemon in colour with a complex nose featuring intense aromas of zested lemon rind, toasted hazelnut, honey and ripe white peach. On the palate, fruit is more restrained; citrus fruit, with secondary notes of rich toasted nuts and honey. The crisp acidity is balanced by mid-palate glycerols and alcohol. A restrained elegant style with complex richness and mineral notes on the finish."
