With such amazing vineyard sites it's no surprise that the Estate release from Ten Minutes by Tractor is excellent.
The majority of the fruit came from the Coolart Road Vineyard, but also included a portion from each of the other Estate vineyards. The wine saw a week of pre-ferment maceration, was fermented using wild yeast, had a short post ferment maceration prior to ageing in French Oak (20% new). The wine spent 14 months in oak prior to bottling without any fining or filtration.
A nose that is steeped in dark cherry and raspberry fruit whilst backed by charcuterie and understated herbs. The palate has concentration but maintains elegance with flowing acidity and beautifully supple tannins that provide the framework for savoury edged red cherry to make it's mark. A long finish with earthen dark cherry the highlight.
Will reward time.
