Description
The 2022 Trahere Pinot Noir marks a new chapter for Ten Minutes by Tractor, crafted entirely from the high-density plantings of the Spedding vineyard. A mix of Calera, Abel, and Pommard clones, these vines sit at 180 metres above sea level, facing due east - conditions that help retain incredible freshness and lift in the fruit.
Handpicked and meticulously sorted, the fruit was destemmed and fermented in small stainless steel vessels, spending just under three weeks on skins before ageing for 10 months in French oak (10% new). The result is a Pinot that balances intensity with finesse - silky, structured, and deeply expressive of its site.
As the first release from this vineyard, it’s an exciting glimpse into the potential of this ambitious project. A wine with depth, detail, and plenty of life ahead of it.

"Very detailed sousbois/undergrowth, five spice, and potpourri aromas—a combination of ethereal nuances with deeper, richer fruit touches. Tremendous intensity, concentration with elegance, and formidable palate length. Impressive structure with a peacock’s tail finish. A wine of exemplary finesse, line, and length."

"A wine remarkable for its decadence and its detail. Lashings of red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry ride on rolling waves of exotic spice. The palate is built on rippling muscle but never looks cumbersome; there’s a complex layering of flavour, revealing more with every return to the glass."
- Nick Ryan (The Australian)

"Florals, potpourri, strawberry compote—complex, fresh, excellent colour. Silky, vibrant, with well-defined tannins and weight, and a good volume of fruit. Wild blackberry, cherry stem, and two-tone mulberry. Bleeding pomegranate, iron, and bresaola. Dense, chewy tannins and supple, flowing acidity. Long and lengthy."
