The 2025 Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Field Blend is an exciting new addition to the winery's acclaimed 10X range, showcasing a vibrant blend of Riesling, Fiano, Friulano and Gewürztraminer sourced from the Hunts Road and Mihaly vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula. Handpicked fruit is whole-bunch pressed before a cool wild fermentation in stainless steel and concrete, preserving bright aromatics while light lees contact adds subtle texture and complexity. The nose is wonderfully expressive, offering aromas of gooseberry, pink musk and lychee layered with citrus blossom, fresh herbs and delicate floral spice, creating an aromatic wine of remarkable freshness and charm.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity, a soft textural richness and a refreshing saline edge. Vibrant flavours of lime, green peppercorn and exotic spice are balanced by lively citrus fruit and fine mineral tension, leading to a long, dry finish with excellent precision and energy. Bright, aromatic and beautifully balanced, this is a contemporary field blend that perfectly captures the freshness and vitality of the Mornington Peninsula.
