Ten Minutes By Tractor "Estate" Chardonnay 2014 (Museum Release)

$450.00

Winery: Ten Minutes by Tractor

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Imogen Dillon & Martin Spedding

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

"Aromatically, this begins with a tightly held set of notes that sit in a pithy lemon and herb spectrum. With swirling, this fans out to take in broader, more cushioned hints of vanilla and spice, but the aroma profile never sheds its delightfully nervy tension, so the whole bounces between tautness and richness. Don’t rush this wine, as extended nosing rewards with a constantly changing balance and set of components. It’s one to savour. In the mouth, this shows a subtlety and elegance that, as with the nose, shouldn’t be rushed."
Julian Coldrey

Estate wines are those which express regional origin with barrel selections from individual vineyards merging their specific attributes into a coalescence which harmoniously blends into a whole. These wines represent what we believe to be the best expression of a Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir or Chardonnay each vintage. The aim is not to seek the individuality of the single vineyards, rather we liken our Estate Wines to a “field blend”, albeit one created at the tasting bench in the barrel room but nonetheless a blend of clones from a wide variety of individual vineyard blocks. Clone P58 (100) from our Wallis (45%), McCutcheon (35%) and Judd (20%) vineyards. Grapes hand-harvested through mid to late March, whole bunch pressed and the unsettled juice was transferred to 21% new French oak barriques. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts preceded a complete malolactic fermentation in spring and regular stirring of lees was carried out over a 10 month barrel maturation. Bottled unfined after filtration.

Moorooduc Estate "Robinson Vineyard" Chardonnay 2011 (Museum Release)

$628.00

Winery: Moorooduc Estate

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Richard McIntyre

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

The 2011 vintage proved remarkably successful at Moorooduc Estate, particularly for white wines, despite the very difficult growing conditions experienced throughout that season. The drought had broken to such an extent that our dam, near empty 12 months prior was now full to overflowing. Instead of lack of water, too much water and unheard of humidity was the problem. Through extra care in the vineyard and stringent fruit selection we triumphed over the difficult conditions. One unusual, positive aspect of this vintage was that phenolic and flavour ripeness happened at lower sugar levels than normal.

Hand harvesting
Whole bunch pressing
100% wild yeast fermentation in French oak barrels, 25% being new, natural malolactic fermentation (65%) in barrel 10 Months in wood on lees with 1 racking prior to bottling.

Moorooduc Estate "McIntyre Vineyard" Chardonnay 2013 (Museum Release)

$475.00

Winery: Moorooduc Estate

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Richard McIntyre

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

"2013 seems to be a bit more crowd-pleaser’y”, says Kate McIntyre MW of Moorooduc Estate, “the complexity of the 2012s, which tend to be more tight and savoury, is very different to these more generous expressions”. New oak is down to 20% in the chardonnays of Moorooduc Estate – another shift in the program in recent years. The vineyard was planted in 1983. Best barrels go into this wine. Exotic fruit scents, quince, pawpaw, ripe tropical citrus, but also shows nougat/cedar oak, spice, intense chardonnay hit. Racy, lean, tightly wound and pushes with great flavour and thrust across the palate. Fine detail, complexity, flesh of fruit. It’s very good. Built for long life in cellars too."
Mike Bennie - The Wine Front

Lethbridge "Mietta" Pinot Noir 2010 (Museum Release)

$888.00

Winery: Lethbridge

Region: Geelong - Victoria

Winemaker: Ray Nadeson

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Noir

From the best block of the estate vineyard. Very good colour; a delicious pinot that fills the senses with perfumed fruit from the first whiff through to the finish and aftertaste; purity, elegance and length are the foundations, generous satsuma plum fruit with just the right amount of savoury tannin support.

An unusual presentation of the MV6 clone in the Estate vineyard produces fruit of great density of flavour, and very low yield (0.5 tonnes/acre). This wine was fermented with 100% whole bunch inclusion and had pre- fermentation maceration for 7-10 days. Wild yeast fermentation in small open vats proceeded with daily pigéage. Pressing was straight to barrel (100% new French oak) to allow for gross lees contact and natural MLF.

We offer FREE delivery (single location only) for purchases over HK$1,500. For orders under HK$1,500, a delivery charge of HK$80 shall apply.

Lethbridge "Allegra" Chardonnay 2011 (Museum Release)

$688.00

Winery: Lethbridge

Region: Geelong - Victoria

Winemaker: Ray Nadeson

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

Rich nectarine and lime with flowers, oatmeal, sandalwood and spice – a musky exotic perfume – spent matchsticks cast aside. Full flavoured with gloss and savoury cashew richness, but tight limey acidity courses through its veins to thrilling effect, and the flint and quartz plays out on a superb long and gently honeyed finish. It responds beautifully to air, though it tastes so good it’s a battle keeping it in the glass long enough. What a wine!

The Fruit for the Allegra Chardonnay was sourced entirely from the historic Rebenberg Vineyard on Mount Duneed, an area first planted with vines in 1858. The premium fruit comes from over 35 year old vines yielding less than one tonne/acre, and was hand-picked at 13.2 Bé and pH 3.25. Fruit was whole bunch pressed and run into 100% new French oak puncheons (450-500L) without prior clarification. Fermentation occurred with indigenous yeast. Following the end of fermentation, malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel with natural yeasts. Wines were left in barrel on gross lees for a further 15 months prior to marriage and bottling. Extended bottle maturation of this wine will allow the tight complex character of this wine to develop.

Virago Nebbiolo 2012

$398.00

Winery: Virago

Region: Beechworth - Victoria

Winemaker: Rick Kinzbrunner (Giaconda) & Karen Coats

Varietal(s): 100% Nebbiolo

Much darker than the 2011, and it’s immediately a much more primary style – there’s distinct fresh red fruit here and without any of the awkward Mint in sight. Since I last tried this it’s fuller, richer, more seamless. Indeed it’s warm hearted and plump through the middle, flush red berries and fine tannins. I like how it’s demonstrably Nebbiolo if in a plumper form than many equivalent Langhe reds. You want the tannins to be just a little longer; and the slightly dry-edged juiciness to be countered, but this is right up at the pointy end of Aussie Nebbiolo. Superb balance through the finish ultimately makes this a satisfying drink. Promise writ large.

Ten Minutes by Tractor “Wallis” Chardonnay 2014 (Museum Release)

$788.00

Winery: Ten Minutes by Tractor

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Richard McIntyre, Jeremy Magyar & Martin Spedding

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

The Wallis vineyard produces a very particular expression of Chardonnay that, each year, stands out in the Ten Minutes by Tractor range. It has a high toned finesse that is immediately recognisable when placed alongside the muscular McCutcheon wine, and this architectural filigree is one of the wine’s principal pleasures.The nose here, for example, is immediately expressive of minerals as much as herbs and citrus - it has a curiously piercing note of struck flint that provides a beautiful edge to the wine’s aroma. Smelling this is like exploring a rock- strewn road on a bright winter’s day - lines are etched and sensations sharpened, the whole bright and cool at the same time. There are deeper wells of aroma here, but these remain firmly recessed.

Ten Minutes by Tractor “Wallis” Chardonnay 2011 (Museum Release)

$888.00

Winery: Ten Minutes by Tractor

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Richard McIntyre, Jeremy Magyar & Martin Spedding

Varietal(s): 100% Chardonnay

The Wallis vineyard typically affords the most delicate expression of Chardonnay in the Ten Minutes by Tractor portfolio, so in a cool year like 2011, the question becomes: how far will growing conditions push the site’s natural style? The answer is: excitingly far. The 2011 Wallis retains all the finesse for which this label is known, but the vintage’s extraordinary nature has produced an almost archetypal wine. The aroma presents a collection of notes primarily in the upper registers. Foremost amongst them is a sense of minerality, part powder and part perfume, that recalls fine fragrance. This is a first spray of your favourite summer eau de toilette, invigorating and complex, so precisely layered it seems designed that way. Alongside, there’s the smell of white flowers, delicate spice and, finally, hits of the citrus fruit that finds its full expression on the palate.

After a decade of warm and dry conditions the 2011 vintage broke the drought with over 600 mm of rain during the growing season versus an average of 350mm, the cool and wet conditions resulted in our latest harvest on record (16 April v 2 April average). Yields were reduced but those grapes that were picked were of good quality – great natural acidity and lovely flavours in our Chardonnay with the Pinot Noir benefitting from the long cool ripening (second longest veraison interval, 68 days v 57 day average).

The grapes were hand-harvested through the third week of April, whole bunch pressed and the unsettled juice was transferred to 25% new French oak barriques. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts preceded a partial (45%) malolactic fermentation in spring and regular stirring of lees was carried out over a 9 month barrel maturation. Bottled unfined after filtration.

Ten Minutes by Tractor “McCutcheon” Pinot Noir 2015 (Museum Release)

$788.00

Winery: Ten Minutes by Tractor

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Richard McIntyre, Jeremy Magyar & Martin Spedding

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Noir

The only challenge with this McCutcheon Pinot Noir is that it is still so backward. It is, without a doubt, the most structured of the single vineyard releases. Here, the fruit tends towards dark cherry, the flavours cutting deeper into the wine and driving the palate along with its brooding intensity. Dark, muscular and sappy with drying tannins a centrepiece, this has an unmistakeable truffled complexity. Impressive wine, with an impressive future ahead.

Ten Minutes by Tractor “Judd” Pinot Noir 2012 (Museum Release)

$888.00

Winery: Ten Minutes by Tractor

Region: Mornington Peninsula - Victoria

Winemaker: Richard McIntyre, Jeremy Magyar & Martin Spedding

Varietal(s): 100% Pinot Noir

The Judd Vineyard Pinot Noir is the most reliably approachable of Ten Minutes by Tractor’s premium Pinots. It always shows a particular brightness of fruit, a high toned lusciousness, that is distinctive and draws the drinker in. While the McCutcheon broods and scowls moodily, the Judd reaches out and just wants you to have some fun.

It’s no ditz, though, this Pinot. The nose, although pretty and bright, is full of complex flavours and simply oozes varietal character. There are transparent red berries, crunchy and fresh, along with a bright sap note and a light dusting of brown spice. Because of its lilt and balance, this seems more immediately approachable than the McCutcheon, yet it matches its more muscular sibling on all counts of expressiveness and complexity.

More...

A much more favourable season than 2011 though not without several interesting periods. Spring conditions were ideal for budburst and early season growth. With small bunches from the previous season’s cool, wet summer and a moderate to cool spell during flowering we saw moderate to low yields with highly concentrated flavours. An average overall hang time but our longest ever veraison-harvest interval (70 days v 57 day average) resulting in intensified flavour and colour development. A record difference between harvest in the lower north and the higher south (31 days v 17 day average).

Hand harvested in mid and late March and, on arrival at the winery, 100% destemmed. A 4-6 day pre-ferment maceration preceded a 100% wild yeast fermentation with manual plunging throughout, followed by a short post-ferment maceration (a total of 20-21 days on skins). Following pressing and a short settling period the wine was transferred to 25% new French oak barriques. After a natural 100% MLF with the onset of warmer temperatures in spring, the wine was bottled unfined and coarse filtered following a total of 17 months of oak maturation.
