Ten Minutes By Tractor Coolart Rd Pinot Noir 2024 from the Mornington Peninsula is a sultry, “down‑the‑hill” style pinot that wraps spice‑laden red fruits in a savoury, structurally serious frame. Ten Minutes By Tractor Coolart Road Pinot Noir 2024 is built from the Coolart Road site with MV6 clone fruit, handled gently in concrete and stainless steel to preserve purity and detail.

Spice, redskin and raspberry coulis are plentiful on the nose before you move into a more floral, blackcurrant and umami‑driven palate, showing serious depth without heaviness. Around 20% whole bunch brings classic stemmy lift and complexity, working in concert with wild ferment and 10 months in French oak (15% new) to give a chewy, sticky savoury tannin edge and a distinctly sultry, moreish finish.

Food‑wise, the estate points you straight to pork belly with roasted plum sauce and grape‑and‑walnut salad – a brilliant call given the wine’s combination of sweet‑edged red fruit, spice and umami structure. It will also sing with roast duck, mushroom dishes and chargrilled salmon, and with a drinking window stretching to around 2040, there’s plenty of scope to cellar a few bottles for extra complexity down the line.
