Ten Minutes By Tractor - New Vintages
|
|
 |
Ten Minutes by Tractor from Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, specialises in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The quirky name stems from the fact that the wines are made from three separate vineyards that are ten minutes by tractor apart. Each of these vineyards is owned by a different family (Wallis, Judd and McCutcheon), and is at a different altitude (from 140m-210m). Martin Spedding is the owner of 'Ten Minutes By Tractor' and the area under vines at each vineyard is only a miniscule 6 hectares.
Newly arrived in the UK are the hotly anticipated latest vintages from Australia’s Ten Minutes By Tractor winery. Ever since James Halliday’s 2010 Wine Guide preview awarded TMBT 5-Star status (again!) and it was revealed that he rated all of their wines between 92-96 points, there has been a huge buzz about these wines’ arrival.
Now they have arrived, we have created special case prices to launch the vintage, and also a mixed case for those of you who have not had the pleasure of drinking these before. So please make an order to enjoy Ten Minutes By Tractor – Mornington Peninsula at its finest! |

Case : 6 x 75cl
Vintage : 2008
Region : Mornington Peninsula, Australia
"Great colour; a great example of grace and power; fine cherry, plum and a touch of game on the bouquet; the palate builds from the start to finish, with fine and precise fruit, framed by complex aromas and flavours that will gather momentum over the next few years; long, luscious and showing velvet-like quality on the finish. ABV 14% - Drink now through 2015"
- 96 Points, James Halliday

Case : 6 x 75cl
Vintage : 2007
Region : Mornington Peninsula, Australia
"Distinctly darker hue than Judd or McCutcheon: as the colour suggests, stronger dark fruit flavours run through the palate, which has good balance. Will repay cellaring. ABV 13.5% - Drink now through 2016"
- 95 Points, James Halliday
