Ten Minutes by Tractor 10X Rosé 2013 (Mornington Peninsula, Vic)
12%, Screwcap, $24
After almost three weeks of holidays I’ve been struggling the last few nights to get back into the groove. This delectable pink could be the perfect jetlag antidote…
A light pink/partridge eye orange colour it looks every bit the classy Pinot rosé. Soft and gentle aromatic, there is a strawberry and pink marshmallow, gently leesy richness on both nose and palate that lifts this above the rosé humdrum, supported by a noticeable acid prick to finish.
Structurally it’s more white wine than full flavoured rosé but with lovely delicacy and balance between fruit and acid. Yes. Moreish too (as you can see by the empty bottle).
