2018 Coolart Road Pinot Noir, Ten Minutes By Tractor
£5995Add to BasketCoolart 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.
