Ten Minutes by Tractor Coolart Rd ‘ Block ‘ Pinot Noir 2023

Sitting at the top of the eastern facing slope on our Coolart Road vineyard, ‘F block’ is typically, finer and more floral than any other block on Coolart. A blend of MV6 (60%), 777 (20%) and 115 (20%). This clonal blend provides a wine with greater freshness and energy with fine grained tannins.

All parcels are handpicked, hand sorted and destemmed. This fruit is fermented in smaller 1- ton stainless steel fermenters to allow for each individual parcel to be fermented separately and to preserve the delicate fruit and floral characters of this elevated block. The wine is fermented with natural yeasts with an average of 14 days on skins across the varying parcels. The wine is pressed to tank, keeping the individual parcels separate. Allowing the wine to settle before being racked to barrels. The team use a combination of old and newer barriques for 11 months. The new oak component is 20%.
