DRIVEN SNOW PINOT NOIR 2023

Here's a great offer on a very smart Central Otago Pinot Noir. Driven Snow is the brainchild of local wine distributor Jorn Dijkstra of Powerhouse wines. He has managed to source an exceptional parcel of fruit from the renown Mondillo Vineyards in Bendigo, Central Otago and had it crafted by talented winemaker, Matt Connell. A winning combination.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Crafted from premium grape parcels out of Bendigo, Central Otago, it greets you with aromas of red cherry, plums, and shiitake mushrooms. Producing fine oak tannins with medium acidity on the palate, it is crisp, tense and dry with flavours that reflect the plum and cherry of the bouquet. It's clean, pure and delightfully moreish – in fact you can as far to say that it's as pure as the driven snow."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Offering fabulous fruit purity with elegant complexity, the wine shows sweet plum, floral, toasted nut and dried herb nuances on the nose, leading to a beautifully weighted palate that's succulent and silky. Wonderfully framed by finely pitched tannins, finishing impressively long and expansive. At its best: now to 2035."
