Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Ten Minutes by Tractor was established on the Mornington Peninsula in 1997, uniting three neighbouring Main Ridge vineyards that lay roughly ten minutes apart by tractor; Martin and Karen Spedding took on the estate in 2004. The 10X Chardonnay is the accessible tier, drawing on estate and grower fruit from across the Peninsula's cool, maritime sites, where vineyards sit on clay-loam and ironstone soils shaped by aspect, slope and altitude. Farming is low-intervention and site-attentive. Fruit for the 2025 release was hand-picked from a Peninsula growing season; specific 2025 seasonal conditions and yields are not confirmed and should be checked against the estate's technical notes.

Vinification

Consistent with the 10X Chardonnay house method, hand-picked fruit is chilled, whole-bunch pressed and settled before fermentation. In the standard approach the clear juice is racked to a mix of barriques and puncheons for wild fermentation, with a small proportion of new French oak (around 11 per cent) and the balance seasoned; some batches undergo partial bâtonnage and malolactic fermentation depending on balance, before blending, light filtration and bottling, with maturation of roughly five months on lees. Exact new-oak percentage, lees time and malolactic proportion for the 2025 vintage are not confirmed and should be verified against the current technical sheet.
