Ten Minutes by Tractor Reviews

Our Mornington Peninsula estate, Ten Minutes by Tractor, has just received some great reviews. Read on for more info.

Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Pinot Noir 2011
"Deep, soused forest berries, with richness, but also cut and an edge. Woodsy smelling with a sniff of gentle pepper spice. Silky palate with pure squeezed blackberries; a touch of poached rhubarb. Light valedictory spicy mouth-aromas. Excellent wine from a tricky, cool, wet vintage. 90/100."
Tim White, Australian Financial Review, 4 October 2012

"Ten Minutes by Tractor is an upper echelon producer these days. Remarkable achievement.
Terrific drinking here. Perfectly weighted, flavoured, textured. Lots of citrus, melon, creamy oak and milky, saline notes. Racy but it feels good on your tongue. And the aftertaste – spicy, briney, stonefruity – brings a smile to your face. Great for drinking this summer – though it will hold and develop well over the next few years. Rated : 93 Points Drink : 2012 - 2015+"

"This has become one of the Mornington Peninsula’s best wine estates, judged by what’s in the glass. The price quotes here is ex-cellar door. Street price may be higher/lower. This 2011 release bursts from the glass. Aroma galore. Stalks, dried peppers, mulch, red berries. Sweet, fragrant, savoury, twiggy. This riot is followed by more of the same in the mouth, with smoky, drying, gamey tannin to boot. Seriously shaped/styled; nothing cheap and cheerful about this. Juicy citrus notes, forest berries, beetroot and rose-petal lift through the finish. Impressive. Rated : 91 Points" "Drink : 2012 - 2016+
Campbell Mattinson, Winefront, 21 September 2012

Light in colour. Slightly murky. Intensely fragrant and then intensely focussed in the mouth. Tannin and spicy, tangy fruit. Remains tangy and acidic for the most part, but then pulls off a crescendo of flavour as it closes. Pinot profile par excellence. Will be fascinating to see this wine develop. Rated : 94+ Points"
Drink : 2014 - 2019+
