Ten Minutes by Tractor – The Pinnacle of Mornington Peninsula Winemaking
Few Australian wineries capture the essence of their terroir as beautifully as Ten Minutes by Tractor. Located in the Mornington Peninsula, this boutique winery has built an international reputation for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the country. The name itself tells a story—originally, the winery was made up of three vineyards, each a ten-minute tractor ride apart.
The Story Behind Ten Minutes by Tractor
Founded in 1997, Ten Minutes by Tractor has become synonymous with elegance and precision in cool-climate winemaking. The winery’s vineyards are located in the rolling hills of the Mornington Peninsula, where a maritime climate and a diverse range of soils create ideal growing conditions for delicate, expressive wines.
Each vineyard brings a unique influence, from the high-altitude Main Ridge sites producing structured Pinot Noir to the lower, sun-exposed slopes where Chardonnay develops rich texture and complexity.
