Ten Minutes by Tractor Estate ‘Down the Hill’ Pinot Noir 2022

Fruit compote and hints of toasted fennel and rosemary lead the way to what is a layered, complex and brooding style of Pinot Noir.
Satsuma plum, cherry, cranberry sauce and fine chewy tannins fill the palate and linger.. for some time.

With a La Niña weather pattern controlling the season, the wet spring and start to the summer delayed bud burst and flowering. Below average temperatures and rainfall over summer allowed the grapes to ripen slowly but evenly, resulting in great concentration of flavour and good natural acidity.
