Ten Minutes By Tractor

2018 Judd Chardonnay, Ten Minutes By Tractor

Victoria, AustraliaVintage: 2018

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.

Enticing notes of grapefruit and white flower build this fine structured wine filled with poise and precision. Green apple crunch leads into the crisp and clean finish that lingers with persistence displaying incredible length and purity.  Best drinking 2020-2030

Description

Ten Minutes by Tractor started in 1997 with three vineyards in Main Ridge, all ten minutes by tractor apart. Over the past 18 years, 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 features different aspects, slopes, soils, altitude and influence of the cool maritime breezes that wind their way through the valleys.

This terroir and sense of place explain everything about their wines. Cool places. Beautiful places. Places that are defined by the wines they make and which can seem worlds apart. The refinement and vibrant acidity of Wallis; the elegance and poise of McCutcheon; the alluring aromatics and fine structure of Judd; the power and fruit purity of Coolart Road.

Each vineyard is intimately linked to its place. These little differences; in soil, slope, aspects and all the other things that make their vineyards distinct mean that while they may be ten minutes by tractor from each other, they are a world apart.

Whole bunch pressed and the unsettled juice fermented by indigenous yeasts in 15% new 228-litre French oak barrels.  A 10-month ageing in barrel with no batonnage to keep wines fresher and tauter. Natural partial (53%) malolactic fermentation before bottling unfined and filtered.
