Ten Minutes by Tractor Estate Chardonnay wine is an esteemed Australian offering from the Mornington Peninsula. It radiates exceptional complexity, showcased through its exquisite balance of fruitiness and acidity. Experiencing an aromatic fusion of ripe peach, pear and lemon zest, one is captivated by hints of almond and honey, layered amidst subtle oak nuances. This wine possesses a sensationally velvety texture and superb length on the palate. It reveals an underlying minerality, reflecting the vineyard's unique terroir. Perfectly suitable for ageing, this wine delivers a rewarding finish. It's ideal to accompany seafood or white meat dishes, making your dining experience utterly delightful.

Tasting Notes

Now a blend of four vineyards, the Estate Chardonnay takes a different tack this year, the vintage warmth delivering a wine that has more width and volume. There’s an extra edge of white chocolate on the nose this year too, though backed with a more traditional white peach and nectarine that is the Ten Minutes by Tractor trademark. Underneath, it’s a broadly proportioned wine with a notable depth of flavour this year – a more full-throttle Estate Chardonnay – though with plenty of acidity to carry off the style.
