The 2022 vintage of this cool-climate Chardonnay from Ten Minutes by Tractor is a vibrant and refined expression of the Mornington Peninsula’s terroir. Known for producing wines with elegance and freshness, Ten Minutes by Tractor focuses on minimal intervention, allowing the region’s maritime climate to impart purity and concentration to the fruit. The cool breezes and long growing season ensure this Chardonnay retains bright acidity, balanced with ripe fruit and complexity.

Fermented in French oak, using a mix of new and seasoned barrels, the wine develops a creamy texture and added depth without overpowering the natural vibrancy of the fruit.

Appearance: Pale straw with a bright, clear hue that signals freshness and youth.

Aroma: The nose opens with notes of citrus, green apple, and white peach. There are subtle layers of almond, brioche, and a flinty minerality, along with a hint of vanilla and spice from the oak.

Taste: Medium-bodied with crisp, lively acidity. The palate is dominated by flavours of lemon zest, nectarine, and green apple, with a creamy texture from the oak fermentation. Hints of hazelnut and minerality add depth, while the acidity ensures the wine remains fresh and balanced.

Finish: The finish is long, clean, and refreshing, with lingering citrus, stone fruit, and a delicate touch of oak and flinty minerality.

Food Pairing: This Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes like grilled scallops or lobster with lemon butter, where its acidity and citrus notes lift the richness of the dish. It also complements roasted chicken or pork loin, with its creamy texture and subtle oak enhancing the savoury flavours. For a vegetarian option, a creamy risotto or roasted root vegetables would be a perfect match, allowing the wine’s freshness and complexity to balance the richness of the dish.
