This is Ten Minutes by Tractor's first Tasmanian release, extending the Mornington Peninsula estate's cool-climate focus to the island's cooler, higher-latitude sites. Fruit was drawn from Tasmanian vineyards, including the northern Tamar Valley, where cool maritime conditions and a long ripening deliver naturally high acidity and fragrant red and dark fruit. The 2024 season began warmer and drier than previous years, with settled conditions into budburst giving good fruit set and bunch size; the northern Tamar recorded above-average temperatures while parts of the island's south stayed cooler than average, preserving aromatic lift. Parcels were chosen to capture Tasmania's perfume and structure.

Hand-sorted fruit was given a three-day cold soak at 8C before fermenting naturally on indigenous yeast for around 15 days on skins, in a combination of concrete and stainless-steel fermenters. After a light pressing the wine matured in oak for roughly eight months, completing a natural malolactic fermentation before blending, filtration and bottling. The gentle, low-extraction handling suits the fragrant black cherry and blueberry fruit, with layers of aniseed, pink musk and blackberry, finishing with a silky texture and chalky, fine-grained tannins.
