The Wine
Australia’s Mornington Peninsula is where cool-climate wines are crafted at a handful of boutique wineries, such as Ten Minutes by Tractor. This highly acclaimed cellar was awarded 5 Red Stars – James Halliday’s top ranking. It began in 1997 by the joining of three family-owned vineyards in Main Ridge, all 10 minutes apart by tractor! The Pinot Noir for this red is selected from estate vineyards in Main Ridge, one of the highest, coolest parts of the Mornington Peninsula and Coolart Road, in the lower, northern part. Winemaker Sandro Mosele wild ferments the fruit then ages it for 11 months in French oak barrels (21% new). The result is a silky-smooth, earthy, perfumed red that easily challenges the quality of top Burgundy Pinot Noirs.
