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

The 2023 Estate ‘Up the Hill’ Pinot Noir is from carefully selected parcels from main ridge vineyards to show clarity of the up the hill sub region of Mornington. Vineyards for the 2023 vintage include Judd, Wallis, Spedding and McCutcheon.

Fruit is all handpicked and sorted before being destemmed, a key stylistic choice for up the hill, showcasing pure fruit intensity and terroir expression. A 4-5 day cold soak before fermentation begins, ferments are kept cool and extraction is light. Wines are racked into French oak barrels for maturation, spending 10 months in oak (13% new).
