<h3><em>For those who&#39;ve made the switch to electric, we&#39;ve made the journey even more considered. Two Tesla Destination Chargers on-site mean you can lose yourself in a long lunch or tasting &mdash; and still arrive home with range to spare.</em></h3>

<p><br />
Located in Main Ridge on the Mornington Peninsula, our restaurant and cellar door are an easy destination for those travelling from Melbourne and beyond.</p>

<p>With on-site EV charging available for guests, it&rsquo;s one less thing to think about &mdash; whether you&rsquo;re joining us for a tasting, a relaxed afternoon in the cellar door, or a longer dining experience. It&rsquo;s a small detail, but one that reflects how we think about the experience as a whole &mdash; from arrival through to departure.<br />

<p><img alt="" src="http://www.tenminutesbytractor.com.au/assets/client/Image/10x_NOV_byAmberGardener_web-170.jpg" style="width: 1024px; height: 683px;" /></p>

<h3><em>The Mornington Peninsula has long been admired for its rolling vineyards, pristine coastline and exceptional produce. Now it welcomes a culinary talent whose global experience is reshaping what regional dining can be.</em></h3>

<p><br />
At just 31, internationally acclaimed chef Craig Lunn has taken the helm at Ten Minutes by Tractor, bringing with him more than 15 years of experience, &nbsp;spent in some of the world&rsquo;s most respected kitchens. From the UK and Europe to Japan and Copenhagen, Lunn&rsquo;s career has been shaped by time in Michelin-starred restaurants under culinary heavyweights including Gordon Ramsay and Alain Ducasse, experience rarely seen on the Peninsula, and never quite like this.</p>

<p>For Lunn, the move south wasn&rsquo;t driven by prestige, but by potential.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I was looking for something different,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;A place where I could create truly memorable moments. The Peninsula offers extraordinary produce, truffles, cheeses, seafood, exceptional meats, pristine fruit and vegetables. Add to that the opportunity to explore using local botanicals and native flora, and it becomes a chef&rsquo;s playground.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Raised in the southwest of England, Lunn felt an immediate connection to the Peninsula&rsquo;s agricultural heartbeat. &ldquo;It reminds me of home,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;Endless fields, a deep respect for the land, and a strong farming culture. That connection really matters to me.&rdquo;</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s a philosophy that aligns seamlessly with Ten Minutes by Tractor, where food, wine and place have always been inseparable. Since opening in 2006, the restaurant has championed provenance and seasonality, creating dining experiences shaped by the land of Main Ridge and the people who farm it.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Great cooking starts in the soil,&rdquo; says Lunn. &ldquo;When you know the farmer, the field and the season, you&rsquo;re already halfway to a beautiful dish.&rdquo;</p>

<p>That belief is quite literally cultivated next door. The restaurant&rsquo;s regenerative farm supplies the kitchen daily with vegetables, herbs and edible flowers, creating a direct and constant dialogue between land and plate. Under Lunn&rsquo;s leadership, that relationship has become sharper, more expressive and more intentional than ever.</p>

<p>His cooking style is refined yet grounded, technically assured, globally informed and deeply respectful of local ingredients. Each dish reflects the character of the Mornington Peninsula, guided by seasonality and executed with quiet confidence.</p>

<p>Asked about a favourite dish right now, Lunn points to the opening bites of the menu, a carefully choreographed introduction to the experience. Think spanner crab choux buns, aged beef tartare with miso cr&egrave;me fra&icirc;che and black potato crisp, and a tuna tart with nori and finger lime, perfectly paired with sparkling wine. From the first mouthful, the intent is clear.</p>

<p>What&rsquo;s new for Lunn is the opportunity to shape dishes alongside the wines from the very beginning. &ldquo;Knowing the vineyards and the sites changes the creative process,&rdquo; he explains. &ldquo;The dish becomes another expression of the same landscape.&rdquo;</p>

<p>That dialogue is elevated further with the return of Head Sommelier Noah Rozenfeld, whose refined pairing program places provenance at its core, and Front of House lead Kobi Watson, whose warmth and precision define the dining room.</p>

<p>Together, they usher Ten Minutes by Tractor into a compelling new chapter, one where global expertise meets Peninsula soul, and where Craig Lunn&rsquo;s world-class vision redefines what regional dining can be.</p>

<p>The result is not simply a destination for a meal, but a place for moments worth returning to, &nbsp;again and again.</p>

<p><em>Following her recent visit to Victoria, JancisRobinson.com writer Tamlyn Currin has shared her impressions of over 250 wines from across the state&mdash;including many of our 2022 and 2023 releases. </em></p>

<p><em>We&rsquo;re proud to share that several of our wines were among the highest rated. Describing our 2023 Coolart Road F Block Pinot Noir as &quot;spine-tingling&hellip; liquid Maria Callas&quot; and the 2022 Trahere Pinot Noir as &quot;exquisitely fine... a wine of haunting crescendo and descant&quot;, Tamlyn captures the spirit and precision we strive for in every vintage.</em></p>

<p><em>A number of wines received 17.5 points or higher&mdash;an exceptional result on the 20-point scale&mdash;highlighting the depth, vibrancy and age-worthiness of these releases. You&rsquo;ll find a selection of Tamlyn&rsquo;s notes below, along with a link to explore the wines further.&nbsp;</em></p>

<h5>2022 TRAHERE PINOT NOIR | 17.5 PTS</h5>

<p>Exquisitely fine detail and complexity bringing a kind of iridescent, transcendent concentration. Red cherry and roses and hibiscus. Pomegranate. Plum-skin spices. The tannins seem to sough through the fruit, whispering, almost keening. A wine of haunting crescendo and descant. Long and impossible to leave.</p>

<h5>2022 TRAHERE CHARDONNAY | 17+ PTS</h5>

<p>Tingling with lively life but a bit more spicy than the 2021. Roasted polenta, mealy depth, white peach. Edgy texture and voltage running through the fruit. Feels as though it needs time to settle its nerves.</p>

<h5>2023 COOLART ROAD &#39;F BLOCK&#39; PINOT NOIR | 18 PTS</h5>

<p>So peppery and so floral &ndash; almost floating above the glass when you smell it and yet stunning intensity on the palate. Membrillo, strawberry leather, Sichuan pepper and five spice. A whisper of petrichor &ndash; the scent of rain on the wind. Ballet-slipper tannins. Strength and grace. Both grounded and soaring. The soprano of the Coolart Road Block wines. Spine-tingling. Liquid Maria Callas.</p>

<h5>2023 COOLART ROAD &#39;E BLOCK&#39; PINOT NOIR | 17.5 PTS</h5>

<p>So much sweeter by contrast with the F Block that this wine, the E Block, is almost a shock. Cherry chocolate, quince paste with damson vibrato. The richly fragrant density of ras el hanout, and then, cheekily, strawberry chipotle jam (if such a thing exists!). Very, very slightly more grip on the tannins than F Block. But the tannins are still mellifluous. If F Block is soprano, E Block is cello. If F Block is leggiero, E Block is legato.</p>

<h5>2023 COOLART ROAD &#39;D BLOCK&#39; PINOT NOIR | 17.5 PTS</h5>

<p>Just a few rows down and yet so much more graphite tension and shadow. Chiaroscuro. Truffle and mushroom compost. Earth and geosmin. The acidity has that still, silent vibration that you only find leaning with your ear and whole body against the trunk of an ancient tree in the stillness of dawn. The fruit and tannins carry shadow and earth, dark sweetness of a different kind. Black cherry. The largo, the bass of the Coolart blocks.</p>

<h5>2022 COOLART ROAD PINOT NOIR | 17.5 PTS</h5>

<p>Richer and deeper than the McCutcheon and Wallis 2022 Pinots. Spicy plumcot, ripe damson, violet. The fruit comes forward, showing much more concentration, more graphite, a little fiercer, more confident. More calligraphy. More mouth-watering, more shimmering concentration. A show of restrained magnificence.</p>

<h5>2023 ESTATE CHARDONNAY | 17 PTS</h5>

<p>Yuzu, pomelo, bergamot, Mirabelle plums. Fine line of sweet lime. Has roundness, lemon-curd richness and surprising concentration for such a cool year, but I love the glittering acidity that seems to define and vibrate through the wine in more ways than one. You can feel the glitter.</p>

<h3><em>To James, with love - Halliday Magazine</em></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>When James Halliday AM announced his retirement, we were inundated with messages from the wine industry. Over the following seven pages, we&#39;ve printed as many as space will allow. Cheers to you, James. Thank you for everything.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;"><strong>Martin Spedding, Owner, Ten Minutes by Tractor</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">James has been the epicentre of the Australian wine industry for over 40 years.<br />
His infectious enthusiasm for wine, his writing and storytelling were instrumental in me entering the wine industry over 20 years ago. His contribution to our industry is unparalleled, a true champion of Australian fine wine. On a personal note, I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend time with James, tasting wine, sharing stories, and reflecting on the history and progress of our industry. He will be sorely missed, but his writings will continue to be an incredible resource for each new generation of winemakers for decades to come.</span></p>

<h4><em>Visit Victoria Feature: Mornington Peninsula Wine Region</em></h4>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">Beloved for its pristine beaches and gloriously green hinterland just an hour&#39;s drive from Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula is also home to more than 50 boutique cellar doors and renowned pinot noir.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">Meet the peninsula vintners, who&#39;ll tell you about their famed pinot noir and celebrated chardonnay, and let you in on the secrets of the newer regional varietals including pinot grigio, pinot gris and shiraz.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">Taste different styles on a tour around this compact and diverse region. The peninsula&rsquo;s climate, topography, land and soil structure combine to create distinct microclimates around the hinterland villages of Red Hill, Main Ridge and Moorooduc, and at coastal spots Merricks, Balnarring and Dromana.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">Follow up an afternoon of wine tasting with a memorable meal at celebrated restaurants such as Laura, Ten Minutes By Tractor, Port Phillip Estate, Montalto and Paringa Estate.</span></p>

					<title>2024 Vintage Update</title>
					
						<link>http://www.tenminutesbytractor.com.au/blog/2024-Vintage-Update</link>
					
					<description>
					
					
					
					<![CDATA[ <p><img alt="" src="http://www.tenminutesbytractor.com.au/assets/client/Image/PHOTO-2024-03-08-13-43-592.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 640px;" /></p>

<h3><em>The 2024 vintage commenced in Spring, with favourable weather conditions; persistent cloud cover moderated evening temperatures, leading up to an early bud burst.</em></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">However, late November and December presented significant challenges, with heavy rainfall, reaching up to 70mm, during the critical two-week flowering period. Vineyards &lsquo;up the hill&rsquo; suffered significant yield losses due to these compounding pressures.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">However, &lsquo;down the hill&rsquo;, which had completed flowering earlier, managed to maintain relatively good yields.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">Following the challenging weather conditions from late November to early January, we enjoyed a long stretch of wonderful Summer weather, commencing at veraison. This prolonged warm and dry spell accelerated ripening and compressed the vintage. It also contributed to great colour, intensity, and flavour profiles to the resulting wines. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15.52px;">The early verdict is that the Chardonnays are exceptional and the Pinot Noir&rsquo;s have a delightful generosity of fruit and layers of complexity. We will provide further updates over the year and look forward to sharing these wines with you on release.</span></p> ]]>

<h3><em>These limited release wines are inspired by our high density vineyards in Main Ridge, the culmination of years of planning, hard work and passion. It is the beginning of an exciting new journey...</em></h3>

<p><br />
<strong>Latin verb:</strong> to draw or pull.</p>

<p><strong>Derivatives:</strong> tract (a tract of land), tractor (a vehicle that pulls), protract (to draw forward), traction (to make progress), and contract (to bring together).</p>

<p>This limited release wine is a culmination of these elements; the land we work and care for, our drive to make progress and pull forward, our passion to learn and to bring people together to produce the best wines possible, from this Bunurong land. The Trahere Chardonnay and Trahere Pinot Noir are the ultimate expression of our beautiful vineyards, the vintage and ourselves.</p>

					<title>Broadsheet | First Look: Allis, the Casual Wine Bar by Revered Mornington Peninsula Estate Ten Minutes by Tractor</title>
					
						<link>http://www.tenminutesbytractor.com.au/blog/Broadsheet-First-Look-Allis-the-Casual-Wine-Bar-by-Revered-Mornington-Peninsula-Estate-Ten-Minutes-by-Tractor</link>

					<![CDATA[ <p><img alt="" src="http://www.tenminutesbytractor.com.au/assets/client/Image/10538a7f664e496688ad38e87622e0d7.jpeg" style="width: 860px; height: 600px;" /></p>

<h3><em>The cellar door has been revamped and turned into a sustainable wine bar. A selection of current- and back-vintage drops come with matched snacks, while inventive small plates utilise offcuts from the restaurant and produce grown on-site.</em></h3>

<p><br />
Ten Minutes by Tractor is one of the Mornington Peninsula&rsquo;s top fine diners. A reservation can be hard to snag, and the team recommends allocating at least three hours to enjoy head chef Hayden Ellis&rsquo;s $195 five-course tasting menu (there&rsquo;s also a condensed three-course version on Thursdays and Fridays).</p>

<p>Karen and Martin Spedding, owners of the of Main Ridge winery and restaurant, noticed demand for a casual alternative to their high end set-menu experience. So, they repurposed their recently renovated cellar door and last month opened Allis, an all-day wine bar with a low-waste ethos.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It seemed like a natural fit for us,&rdquo; Karen tells Broadsheet. &ldquo;I thought the space looked amazing and it would be really nice to use it in a wine-bar context.&rdquo;</p>

<p>At Allis, the wine list is made up current- and back-vintage Ten Minutes bottles and a few international options from producers like Robert Weil and Pierrick Laroche. There&rsquo;s a lot to choose from, but Karen insists visitors shouldn&rsquo;t be intimidated.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been our ethos from day one to share our love of wine and education [about] wine,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;We have a great [team] who can gauge people&rsquo;s interest and where they&rsquo;re at in terms of their wine journey.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Despite the transition from cellar door to wine bar, guests can still taste the Ten Minutes by Tractor range, including with a flight of either chardonnay or pinot noir. There&rsquo;s an option to pair each flight with snacks for $60 a head.</p>

<p>Also on offer is a menu of thoughtful and approachable small plates (priced between $10 and $55) developed by chef Charlie Yates, former head chef at the now shuttered Petit Tracteur, who&rsquo;s worked in the Ten Minutes by Tractor kitchen since 2016. Most produce comes from 10X, the on-site garden, and dishes make use of offcuts from the restaurant. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re trying to create a symbiotic relationship [between the two venues],&rdquo; says Karen.</p>

<p>Carrots are harvested daily when in season. They&rsquo;re roasted with fennel and served on crumpets along with horseradish liquorice, brown-butter hazelnuts, pickled fennel and oil made from the carrot tops. Over the coming months, a prolific batch of turnips will be fermented and used across the menu in dishes like charred kangaroo carpaccio with crispy capers and horseradish. Even the oil that accompanies the Jetty Road-beer-and-buttermilk bread is house-made, using olives grown in the estate&rsquo;s Judd Vineyard.</p>

<p>Ten Minutes by Tractor is named for the time it takes to travel between the three vineyards that originally made up the estate (which has since grown to a total of six vineyards). With that in mind, the Speddings named their new venue after the burnt-orange-coloured Allis-Chalmers farm tractors.</p>

<p>The bar&rsquo;s interior blends its namesake machine&rsquo;s signature shade with charcoal walls and honey-hued timber tables. Cathedral ceilings and tall windows create an expansive feel in the otherwise cosy venue, which also features handmade bricks with a sunset colour inspired by the soil at the estate&rsquo;s 23-year-old Coolart Road Vineyard.</p>

<h3><em>It&rsquo;s 2023, and most wineries have fairly decent food&mdash;some local cheeses, cured meats and often a proper three-course lunch. But some of them are going far and above, installing Michelin-star (or Michelin-caliber) chefs on the premises and letting them run free with their technique and creativity. And of course, the wine pairings are always spot-on. Here, in alphabetical order, are ten of the most interesting right now.</em></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Ten Minutes by Tractor, Mornington Peninsula, Australia</strong></p>

<p>Ten Minutes by Tractor is the convergence of wine journeys that began almost 40 years ago with a group of people and vineyards that came together. While southwest Australia has its share of sophisticated wineries, Ten Minutes by Tractor stands out for having an equally sophisticated restaurant. Head chef Hayden Ellis is a Kiwi-born lover of local farming, foraging and worldly flavors. His innovative menu is driven by creating a powerful connection between food, wine and nature.</p>

<h3><em>When you look back at your life, what moments come to mind? Milestones of family and friends, births, deaths and marriages, for sure. But what else? Some remember significant sporting moments: the season their team won the flag, or where they were when Sam Kerr kicked that goal. Some think of holidays they took. Others recall memorable meals....So here, for my annual round-up of top drinks this year, I&rsquo;ve compiled a list of the bottles I&rsquo;ll look back on to remind me of 2023.</em></h3>

<p><br />
<strong>Ten Minutes by Tractor Trahere Pinot Noir 2021</strong></p>

<p>First tasted at the winery last year, tasted again at the Pinot Noir Celebration on the Mornington Peninsula early this year, and now finally released for sale, this is Ten Minutes by Tractor&rsquo;s top cuv&eacute;e of pinot. Sourced from the best blocks of various vineyard sites &ndash; including some newer, very high-density plantings &ndash; this wine has more weight than most of the pinots from this winery and this region. Concentrated, dark, almost voluptuous pinot fruit, but also has superb finesse and length of flavour.</p>
