Ten Minutes by Tractor Coolart Rd Pinot Noir 2022

The Coolart Road vineyard is the warmest site of the Ten Minutes By Tractor single vineyard wines, regularly ripening up to 4 weeks earlier than Judd and McCutcheon up in Main Ridge. Planted in 2000. 100% Pinot Noir. The combination of the warmer micro climate and deeper soils further down the hill gives a this wine it’s signature dark cherry fruit and exotic spice tones.

This Pinot Noir is always a careful selection from what they consider are the best blocks in the Coolart Road vineyard. The 2022 vintage utilises the finesse and poise from F block in the upper section of the Vineyard.

Handpicked fruit is sorted manually and individual parcels receive a 5-day cold soak before wild yeast fermentation. Both concrete and stainless steel are used. The wine is aged for 8 months in a range of oak vessels, 26% new (600L).
