Ten Minutes by Tractor Coolart Road Pinot Noir is a truly captivating wine hailing from the Mornington Peninsula, Australia. Bursting with decadent aromas of raspberry, plum and cherry, it gently unfolds into more complex notes of spices and earthiness. Boasting a luxurious burgundy colour, the wine entices from the first sight. On the palate, this Pinot Noir is silky and voluptuous, delivering the exquisiteness of ripe, well-balanced fruit flavours effortlessly. A slightly elusive touch of vanilla and fine-grained tanins grace the lingering finish. This finely-crafted wine is truly an exquisite Australian Pinot Noir worth savouring.

Tasting Notes

With such tiny yields it’s a pleasure just to see this wine at all, with the perfect season great for quality but miserable for yields. Coolart is the earliest picked of the Ten Minutes by Tractor vineyards and you’d expect this to be a beastly wine. But it’s not – rather, it’s joyously plump and ripe, a wine of red raspberry easygoing flavour, yet with tannins and grip. Great balance between the need for appealing fruit flavour and structure.
