Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Tasmanian Pinot Noir 2024

The 2024 10x Tasmanian Pinot Noir is the first Tasmanian pinot noir from the Ten Minutes by Tractor team. Smaller yields from the 2024 vintage saw the team look further afield to source quality fruit from vineyards in the Tamar and Derwent Valley.

The 2024 vintage in Tasmania experienced a warmer and drier start than previous years giving ideal conditions for good fruit set and larger bunch sizes across both regions. There is a diverse clonal selection for the 2024 10X ensuring complexity. Dijon clones 115 and 114 as well as Pommard, Abel, D5V12, 8104 are all included in the blend.

Fruit is all handpicked and sorted by hand before a 3-day cold soak. Ferments begin with natural yeasts and spend 15 days on skins in a combination of concrete and stainless-steel fermenters. Lightly pressed off the skins and transferred into French oak Barriques and Puncheons for 8 months with 15% new oak. Malolactic occurs in barrel and the wine is lightly filtered before bottling.
