TEN MINUTES BY TRACTOR
Ten Minutes by Tractor is one of Australia's most celebrated wineries, renowned for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Mornington Peninsula. Established in 1997, the winery takes its unique name from three family vineyards that were originally just ten minutes apart by tractor. Today, it is recognised as one of the country's benchmark cool-climate producers, with an unwavering focus on single-vineyard expression and exceptional quality.
Located on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, the estate benefits from a cool maritime climate moderated by the surrounding waters of Port Phillip Bay, Western Port, and Bass Strait. Long growing seasons, cool nights, and diverse soils of volcanic, clay, and sedimentary origin create ideal conditions for producing wines with remarkable elegance, freshness, and complexity.
Ten Minutes by Tractor is best known for its single-vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which have earned consistent acclaim from leading critics and collectors worldwide. The Pinot Noir displays aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petal, spice, and forest floor, supported by silky tannins and refined structure. The Chardonnay offers layers of citrus, white peach, nectarine, flint, hazelnut, and mineral tension, combining richness with precision and outstanding ageing potential.
The winery farms several exceptional vineyards across the region, including McCutcheon, Wallis, Judd, Spedding, Coolart Road, and others. Each site is vinified separately to highlight the subtle differences in soil, elevation, and microclimate that define the Mornington Peninsula's unique terroir.
Sustainability is central to the estate's philosophy. Vineyard management focuses on improving soil health, encouraging biodiversity, and producing low-yielding fruit of exceptional quality. In the winery, gentle handling, wild yeast fermentation, restrained oak use, and minimal intervention ensure every wine faithfully reflects its vineyard origin.
Ten Minutes by Tractor has become one of Australia's most awarded wineries, consistently receiving outstanding reviews from leading wine publications and international critics. Its wines are recognised for their purity, finesse, and remarkable sense of place, placing the estate among the finest producers of cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay outside Burgundy.
