Impeccable and elegant, Ten Minutes by Tractor's Judd Chardonnay is an exquisite wine hailing from Australia's Mornington Peninsula. Displaying splendid minerality and a bright, taut acid structure, this white wine combines rich flavours of ripe stone fruits and vanilla with subtle toasty oak, hints of nutmeg and a long, creamy finish. This enchanting Chardonnay exhibits a refined complexity, balanced eloquently with delicate flavours and intense aroma. Recognised for its exceptional depth and grace, each sip provides a compelling exploration of taste. Sumptuous yet refreshingly crisp, it's a discerning choice for the sophisticated palate.

Tasting Notes

As befitting a warm and early harvest, the 2016 Judd Chardonnay underwent only partial malolactic fermentation. To my taste that has helped give this an extra level of freshness, with more layers on show – waxy oak and brioche on the nose, whipped butter and white nectarine on the palate, the finish tight despite the extra alcohol warmth. A full-bodied, yet carefully crafted and contained modern Mornington Chardonnay.
