An introduction of glazed cherry, rhubarb string and bramble spice are evident on the nose. Dried red berries, plum and strawberry glide across the palate along with blood orange and plum pudding. This is met by a delicate red wine jus that leads into a savoury edge of leather, cinnamon spice and finely detailed tannins.

Single Vineyard Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Estate vineyards – McCutcheon, Coolart Road, Judd and Wallis – which are 100% managed by in house viticultural and winemaking teams. These wines are produced from the highest performing blocks from each of these vineyards, harvested from small carefully selected parcels ensuring the clearest expression of their terroir.

Ten Minutes by Tractor started in 1997 with three vineyards in Main Ridge, all ten minutes by tractor apart. Since then, Martin and Karen Spedding have added four more vineyards that have a diverse range of microclimates from across the Mornington Peninsula. Each of these vineyard sites are home to different aspects, slopes, soils, altitude and varying influences from the cool maritime breezes that wind their way through the valleys. These little differences; all the things that make their vineyards distinct mean that while they may only be ten minutes by tractor from each other, they are a world apart.
