Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Rose 2012 (Mornington Peninsula, Vic)
13%, Screwcap, $28
Pretty wine this. A genuinely lovely pink.
More light Pinot Noir than dry Rosé, the nose softly pink pastel fresh but with a drawn dryness too. There’s almost a pink lifesaver fruit character to the palate that carries everything forward. So gently musky and pretty! Dry finish brings things back. Very lively and fresh, if perhaps just a bit more acid driven than the genre expects.
