Ten Minutes By Tractor, 10X Chardonnay 2021
DESCRIPTION
Ten Minutes by Tractor began in 1997 with three family-owned vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, which were all ten minutes apart (by tractor!). They strive to share their love of wine and food with others through their delicious bottles and on-site restaurant. The 2021 10X Chardonnay is lively and undisputably fresh, shaped by the acidity from the underlying notes of citrus and grapefruit. Obviously Chablis-inspired, the oak takes a backseat in this wine while still remaining influential on the palate. Perfect with seafood and salads.
REGION
Yarra Valley
Australia
The Yarra Valley is a well-respected Australian wine region that occupies the eastern half of the Port Phillip viticultural zone, in the diminutive state of Victoria. At complete odds with the usual, hot and dry Shiraz-growing image of Australia, Yarra Valley is best known for its bright, complex wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
More from Christmas in Bottles
An elegant Chardonnay with aromas of white-fleshed fruit and grilled hazelnut. The palate is both rich and taut. A wine of great finesse to pair with shellfish.
