[SOLD-OUT] Ten Minutes By Tractor 10X Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Our 10X wines are designed as easy drinking examples of what the Mornington Peninsula can produce. They may have been picked from younger vines or at slightly different times to achieve slightly different characteristics and, as a general rule, they see less new oak and spend less time in oak during maturation. Ten Minutes by Tractor has always had a different take on Sauvignon Blanc; not so wilfully perverse as to call into question the nature of the grape, but distinct enough to provide a different view into this most celebrated yet divisive of varieties. It’s piercingly aromatic but with a firm tilt to the mineral, herbal spectrum, keeping more vulgar aspects at bay while still releasing wisps of passionfruit into the mix. Think of a herb garden just after a summer shower and you’d be on the right track. In the mouth, there’s a particular fullness that swells on the middle palate and gives sharp, citrus-herb flavours nice drive and carry. This isn’t an overwhelming wine, which may come as some relief to those who don’t often have a taste for this variety, but there’s trademark acid and some gorgeous texture through the finish that should ensure ease of matching with a variety of food.
