Ten Minutes by Tractor continues to be one of the true stars of the Mornington Peninsula all the way from the single vineyard wines to the regional 10X wines. Always a Pinot of utmost power with dense, dark, brooding fruit typical of the region with the great savoury balance that is evident in great examples of the variety.

Savoury and spicy dry red. Earthy good value French Pinot Noir.

Berry characters, concentration and fine grained structure underlying this wine. Dijon clones, offer brighter, red fruit and floral notes which enhance elegance and energy. The style seeks to express a complex range of fruit and process derived aromas, flavours and textures.

If Pinot Noir could replace blood, Neil Prentice would have it running through his veins. He is absolutely obsessed with the stuff. No fertilizers have ever been used. The vines have never been irrigated.

Planted on terraces and alluvial schist based soils formed by the Mata-Au (Clutha) River producing perfumed wines with elegant texture, structure and mineral length.

Former Hardys Chief Winemaker Brian Croser, knows a thing or two about wine and it shows in the quality of wines this 5 Red Star winery produces. Intense and brooding, this sweet Pinot Noir has complex black fruit and a definite tannin structure that provides a savoury finish.

The colour has a slight tinge of pink from the Pinot Noir portion of the blend. The palate is well structured and elegant, with crisp apple and citrus elements from the fresh acidity of the grapes. This freshness is complexed with the yeasty nuttiness that is derived from 24 months of aging on the yeast lees in the bottle. The dosage sweetness added on disgorging is minimal and balances the finish on the palate perfectly. Together these characteristics produce a wine of great complexity that fill the mouth over the length of the whole palate. The overall richness weight and structure of the wine will see it greatly improve with further careful cellaring over the next 10 years.
