  2018 Coolart Road Pinot Noir, Ten Minutes By Tractor

  £5995

  Coolart Road is a classic single vineyard site made at Ten Minutes by Tractor.

  Our Coolart Road vineyard was planted in 2000 and is situated in the lower, northern part of the Mornington Peninsula. It has a gentle north-easterly sloping aspect facing Western Port and Phillip Island.

  Coolhart is picked earlier than the other Ten Minutes vineyards and is made with more whole bunches.   This 2018 has an impish energy to it that makes it perhaps the most approachable Pinot Noir in the range when young.  Full of cherry fruit with a dash of vanilla and tomato leaf, it’s even and spicy with just a hint of jam. Love the open fruit of this vintage, yet with a spicy finish too.

  The almost smoky edge would make this perfect with a smoky bresaola charcuterie platter.

  2017 Estate Pinot Noir, Paringa Estate

  £6200

  Another sensational vintage of Estate Pinot Noir from Paringa.  Powerful aromatics of dark cherries and ripe strawberries tinged with hints of violets soar out of the glass. Ensuing are some anise, lightly toasted cedar, forest floor and spice. Delicious dark cherry, strawberry and anise flavours show terrific intensity and drive across the palate. Supple yet fresh in its feel with nuances of forest floor, dried meats, fresh herbs and spicy cedar in the background. Nicely balanced natural acidity and very polished tannins add class. Superb depth and persistence with a very long savoury conclusion.
  Drink over the next 6-8 years.

  The vineyard is set in the classic cool climate subregion of Red Hill at an altitude of 146 metres above sea level. The Pinot Noir vines are aged between 15 and 22 years; six clones are planted each with subtle characteristics which impart complexity to the resulting wine. The soil is a deep red volcanic clay that allows dry farming, without irrigation. Founder, Lindsay McCall, still tends to the vineyard characterised by its distinctive Lyre or ‘U’ trellis system which sits on an elaborate steel frame assembly.

  2018 Estate Pinot Noir, Paringa Estate

  £6200

  The 2018 vintage for Paringa was outstanding producing some of their best wine ever, yields were generous and of exceptional quality.  The ‘Estate’ pinot noir comes from a selection of Paringa’s best vineyard sites, and its signature style is elegance and complexity.

  In the glass the 2018 has a complex and perfumed nose. Aromas of dark cherries mingle with hints of spice. The palate has a luscious core of dark cherry fruit, firm tannins, and a long savoury finish. The impressive structure of this wine will ensure considerable longevity.

  2018 Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon, Rockford

  £6200

  The nose on this elegant cabernet is generous, rich and ripe with plenty of classic blackcurrant fruit with cocoa and tobacco notes. The palate is fresh and herbal with thyme notes that lift the concentrated black fruit. Smooth, silky tannins and a wonderful freshness on the finish.

  Rifle Range Road which runs parallel to Krondorf Road, is in the heart of the Valley Floor and winds its way up the hills to Kaiser Stuhl National Park. The old rifle range is long gone, but the farming land and vineyards that have long been part of the landscape are still there.  “Because most of our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards adjacent to Rifle Range Road, it seemed the most appropriate name for this wine which has been part of Rockford since the very beginning.”

  2018 was the kind of vintage winemakers look forward to. They were able to pick some parcels early and some later across a three-week period, ensuring a complex, naturally balanced wine that will reward cellaring for a further 6-8 years and we suspect much longer for those able to resist!

  2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Cuvée Barberini’, Domaine de la Solitude

  £6300

  Domaine de la Solitude’s wines are renowned for their characteristic elegance whilst expressing the true origins of their terroir.

  The Cuvée Barberini is a tribute to the founding fathers of the Estate and is made only in the best years from the best parcels of old vines of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.   This Domaine has one of the best terroirs in Châteauneuf-du-Pape with its abundance of rounded quartzite stones, known as “Galet Roulés” terroir.  These stones absorb heat during the day then radiate it at night, promoting full grape maturity. The grapes are manually harvested, once each variety has reached phenological ripeness.    2018 is fantastic Rhône vintage for reds and this wine is no exception.   Well textured, ripe, full-bodied – delivering rich black fruits, mocha expresso and a subtle hint of smoke. Smooth on the palate with integrated tannins and a lingering finish, this is a traditional and elegant Châteauneuf.

  In 2018 the Châteauneuf producers have made very high quality, focused wines, which are open and expressive with a gorgeously appealing fruit profile. The combination of small yields, ripe fruit and tannins also means that these wines have the ageing potential of the best years.

  2021 Wallis Chardonnay, Ten Minutes By Tractor

  £6400

  Ten Minutes by Tractor needs little introduction, nor does the man in charge – Martin Spedding. A gently-spoken man with a background in finance and IT, in 2002, he finally acknowledged the fact that his true passion lay in wine. Despite his origins in New South Wales, he simply couldn’t get enough of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and would travel down to Victoria to immerse himself in Australia’s heartland of these noble varieties. In 2003 he visited one of his favourite small wineries on Mornington Peninsula and was delighted to discover that it was for sale. Without a moment’s hesitation, he snapped it up, and so began Martin’s journey with Ten Minutes by Tractor.

  Complexity is always the name of the game with this single vineyard ‘Wallis’ Chardonnay -this 2021 iteration is another complete wine. White nectarine, fig and green papaya jump from the glass inviting you to explore this elegant Chardonnay. The grapefruit acidity that is the Wallis hallmark drives the palate, complimenting chestnut, soft citrus and spicy notes that sing together and complete this wine.  Drink now to 2035

  1998 Colheita Port, Barros

  £6800

  Having celebrated their 100th year of trading in 2013, Barros Port is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious companies producing and trading in Port. Much of their success comes from Colheita Ports – old Tawnies from a single year matured in cask for a minimum period of seven years. Their expertise in Colheita Ports has established them as the stand out producer of this style. Barros leaves their Colheita Ports to mature in cask until being hand bottled to order. The loss of wine from evaporation (known as the ‘Angel’s Share’) is much higher in comparison to bottle ageing. It is a sacrifice they are willing to make and one that helps them achieve unsurpassed quality in their Colheita wines.

  This 1998 Colheita is exceptional.  In the glass, it has bright brown-tawny colour with slight reflexes of red. The wine reveals a rich and elegant nose, combining the dried fruits aromas with the aromatic wood notes. Soft and silky in the taste, full of ripe figs and sweet flavours. A sensation of depth, in an elegant and distinctive style.  Exceptional.
