2023 Ten Minutes By Tractor 10X Pinot Noir 750ml

Vintage

Higher than average rainfall during flowering and over the course of the season resulted in lower yields on all sites. Flavour and sugar development were prolonged, resulting in more hang time, greater intensity, and drive.

Winemaking

Hand sorted on sorting table. A 3-5 day cold soak at 8°C before naturally fermenting using indigenous yeast for 18-21 days on skins in a combination of concrete, stainless steel and oak fermenters. Some whole bunch was used across various parcels. Lightly pressed then aged in oak for 5 months where it went through a natural malolactic fermentation before it was blended, filtered and bottled.

Tasting Notes

Dark fruits, black cherry, spice, and hints of green tea lift from this perfumed Pinot Noir. A rustic flair of red cherry pip, sour cherry, char, and coriander seeds provide a sensory journey offering lovely complexity and length.
