he 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: Mills (35%), Osborn (25%), McCutcheon (15%), Wallis (10%), Spedding (6%), Judd (6%), Gabrielle (3%) 

Winemaking: Hand picked and sorted on our sorting table • The fruit was whole bunch pressed to tank and the juice cold settled for 48 hours • The juice was then racked, taking only the light fluffy lees and transferred into oak for a wild yeast ferment • Partial malolactic fermentation • After 10 months of oak maturation, the wine was bottled and filtered.

A generous array of stone fruit with hints of sherbet and preserved lemon. The palate is supple, whilst the underlying acid and mineral drive adds a lovely texture and energic edge to the wine. 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.
