Layers of vibrant red cherry, bramble spice, and blackberry surround silky tannins, driving a fruit intensity and structure that lingers beautifully on the palate.
The 2022 Trahere Pinot Noir is the first wine crafted solely from the high-density Spedding Vineyard, a blend of three exceptional clones—Abel, Pommard, and Calera—grown across the 1.48 ha site. These clones thrived resulting in a wine of remarkable complexity and sophistication.
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.
