2025 Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Pinot Gris X 12 bottles

The 2025 Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Pinot Gris is a beautifully textured cool-climate white crafted from a blend of fruit sourced from the Hunts Road, Osborn and Wallis vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula. Each parcel is handpicked and fermented separately with wild yeast in a combination of stainless steel, concrete and seasoned French oak before spending four months maturing on lees. This thoughtful approach builds complexity while preserving freshness, resulting in a wine that showcases the precision and purity for which Ten Minutes by Tractor is renowned. The nose reveals aromas of citrus peel, pear skin and perfumed musk layered with white peach, gentle spice and subtle mineral notes.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, impressive textural depth and a fine phenolic grip that adds structure and length. Flavours of ripe pear, crisp apple and citrus are complemented by savoury complexity and a chalky mineral edge, leading to a long, dry finish that is both refined and beautifully persistent. Fresh yet layered, this is an elegant Mornington Peninsula Pinot Gris with excellent balance and plenty of character.
