Description

Ten Minutes by Tractor is best known for its Mornington Peninsula Pinot, but this Tasmanian release shows they’re just as skilled working with fruit from further afield. Sourced from vineyards in the Tamar and Derwent Valleys, it’s a cool-climate Pinot with plenty of brightness and depth.

Hand-sorted and naturally fermented, the wine spent eight months in French oak (15% new), giving it just enough structure while keeping things fresh and vibrant. It’s expressive, silky, and food-friendly, with fine tannins and a touch of spice adding to its charm.

Whether you’re drinking it now or giving it a bit of time to develop, this is a great example of Tasmanian Pinot through the lens of one of Australia’s most detail-focused producers.

Tasting Notes

Perfumed and expressive, this Pinot Noir opens with beautiful fragrant black cherry and blueberry fruits, exuding a voluptuous charm. Layers of aniseed, pink musk, and blackberry lead to a silky texture and chalky fine tannins.

Vintage

Region: Tasmania
A warmer and drier start to the vintage compared to previous years was followed by ideal conditions leading into budburst, allowing for good fruit set and bunch size. During the growing season, the northern Tamar region experienced above-average temperatures, while parts of the island’s south remained cooler than average.

Hand sorted on a sorting table, the fruit underwent a three-day cold soak at 8°C before naturally fermenting with indigenous yeast for 15 days on skins in a combination of concrete and stainless steel fermenters. After a gentle press, the wine was aged in oak for eight months, undergoing natural malolactic fermentation before blending, filtration, and bottling.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
