Ten Minutes by Tractor Coolart Road Pinot Noir is a splendid Australian wine redolent with the ethereal fragrance of spices, florals, and ripe cherries. This wine shines bright with its varietal expression and graceful complexity. It tantalises the palate with its mélange of juicy fruit flavours, accentuated by undernotes of savoury herbs. The tannins are well-structured and finely grained, melding harmoniously with its buoyant acidity, leading to an enduring, mellow finish. This Pinot Noir is an articulate illustration of its Mornington Peninsula terroir, resonating with a distinct elegance and potential for ageing gracefully. Perfectly paired with grilled lamb or mushroom risotto.

Tasting Notes

With such tiny yields it’s a pleasure just to see this wine at all, with the perfect season great for quality but miserable for yields. Coolart is the earliest picked of the Ten Minutes by Tractor vineyards and you’d expect this to be a beastly wine. But it’s not – rather, it’s joyously plump and ripe, a wine of red raspberry easygoing flavour, yet with tannins and grip. Great balance between the need for appealing fruit flavour and structure.
