The Ten Minutes by Tractor 10x Chardonnay represents good value and is made in a style that is approachable in it's youth but will also reward short term cellaring. The wine was fermented in barrel with 10% new french oak for 9 months and full malolactic fermentation allowed.

A light yellow in the glass with a nose that shows vibrant melon and nectarine fruit that has a mealy, lees induced richness and top notes of candied apple

The palate has breadth of stone fruits that work against a taut backbone of acidity and generous textural inputs that give a touch of savouriness, wood spice and fig give depth to driving stone fruits to finish.
