Tasting Notes

Appearance

Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Chardonnay 2025 presents a bright, pale straw hue with excellent clarity — the hallmark of handpicked Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay, whole bunch pressed to stainless steel and wild fermented across a range of barriques and puncheons with 10% new French oak. Clean, vibrant and immediately inviting in the glass.

Aroma

Bright and perfumed on the nose — citrus and white nectarine lead with freshness and vitality, with floral notes adding a lovely lift and delicacy. There’s a purity and precision here that speaks to the quality of the 2025 vintage, with healthy, balanced canopies across six Mornington Peninsula vineyards — Osborn, Hunts Road, Mills, McCutcheon, Judd Wallis and Gabrielle — producing wonderful flavours and acidity.

Palate

The palate glides through with a creamy mouthfeel — light and soft, with key lime and biscuit crumb edges giving texture and grip that is both refined and satisfying. Wild fermentation in barriques and puncheons with selective bâttonage adds a subtle complexity and creaminess, while 10% new French oak puncheons provide gentle structure without dominating the fruit. Delightful, with the balance and acidity to drink beautifully through to 2035.

Pairs With

A natural match for hazelnut and ricotta homemade gnocchi with burnt butter and sage sauce — equally outstanding alongside pan-fried barramundi, grilled scallops, soft cheeses or a classic Mornington Peninsula seafood platter. Serve at 13–15°C to best express the citrus, white nectarine and creamy palate. Best drinking 2025–2035.
