Pure, poised and quietly confident, the 2022 Wallis Pinot Noir is a beautiful expression of Mornington Peninsula finesse. Bright ruby in the glass, it opens with lifted aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry and cranberry, layered with rose petal, subtle spice and a gentle savoury note. The palate is silky and finely drawn, red fruit gliding across supple tannins with a cool, mineral freshness that keeps everything precise and flowing. Elegant rather than showy, it finishes long and clean, leaving a lingering impression of balance and clarity.

For when: the table’s full and the conversation’s flowing.
Pairs with: roast duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom and thyme dishes.
If this wine were a mood: relaxed confidence, nothing forced, everything in place.

From the cooler slopes of the Mornington Peninsula, Ten Minutes By Tractor has become synonymous with site-driven, finely detailed Pinot Noir. The Wallis vineyard is one of the estate’s standout sites, prized for its ability to deliver purity of fruit and natural tension. The 2022 vintage captures that character perfectly, a Pinot Noir of restraint, texture and quiet depth, made to be enjoyed now but with the structure to reward a little patience too.
