Ten Minutes by Tractor Estate ‘Down the Hill’ Pinot Noir 2023

The 2023 ‘Down the Hill’ Pinot Noir highlights the sub regional differences between Main ridge fruit and those from lower elevations. Earthy and Dark fruited Pinot Noir sourced from the Estates Coolart Road vineyard as well as the Mihaly vineyard (Merricks).

All fruit is handpicked and hand sorted before being destemmed, a small amount of whole bunches were used in varying parcels. Fermented in Concrete and Stainless steel vessels before being pressed into barrels, a mix of Barrique and Puncheon was used. The wine is rested for 10 months in 12% new oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.
