This is our virtual cellar door where we aim to pass on as much information as you need about Ten Minutes By Tractor, our winemaking, our vineyards and the region. Never quite the same as visiting but certainly convenient!
We produce wines in three different levels, with those levels determined by source - single vineyards, Main Ridge and the Mornington Peninsula.
Estate
These wines are sourced exclusively from our three original 'home' vineyards – Judd, McCutcheon and Wallis – in Main Ridge, one of the highest, coolest parts of the Mornington Peninsula, and therefore are a Main Ridge expression of each variety. The altitude, aspect of the ridges and valleys to the cooling influence of Bass Strait, and the soils of Main Ridge are all very different to the rest of the Peninsula.
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
Single Vineyard
These wines are from the highest performing blocks of the Judd, McCutcheon and Wallis vineyards in Main Ridge. Harvesting from small carefully selected parcels and attention to detail in the vineyard and winery are designed to ensure the clearest expression of the terroir of these vineyards. Single Vineyard wines are only made in vintages that produce wines of appropriate quality. Production is usually less than 200 dozen. They are truly limited edition wines.

10X
These wines are sourced from several vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, all under our complete control, and are therefore a regional expression of each variety. These include the 'home' vineyards and three new vineyards that have been added in recent years; one on the site of the cellar door and restaurant, which is organically certified and is used to trial organic viticultural practices which are progressively being employed across all the vineyards. The other two are in the north of the Peninsula.
