The name and logo reflect the location and the unique, regionally distinct wines. Main Divide is the local name for the mighty range of Southern Alps which form the backbone of Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island of New Zealand). The aim is to produce wines which reflect the unspoilt freshness, purity, vigour and cool climate of the south, while retaining in each its individual regional and varietal character.
A handful of selected South Island vineyards have been chosen because of their unique situations or terroir and the quality of their grapes. The intention is to work with the growers of these vineyards throughout the season to obtain quality fruit, all of which is then hand-crafted into wine by the Donaldson Family at their Waipara winery.
They produce distinctive, vibrant wines with lively fruit flavours, which at the same time are integrated and harmonious. Subtle intertwining of complimentary aromas and flavours provides the extra dimension of complexity.
Fresh, aromatic and elegant, this delicious made-to-make-your-mouth-water Sauvignon is text book wine making from fruit hand selected by one of New Zealand’s most respected wine producers at Pegasus Bay.
Highly perfumed nose of raspberry and redcurrant underpinned by cinnamon and vanilla notes, the palate’s combination of ripe red fruit, spice and delicious acidity and balanced tannin provide the perfect structure for a great Pinot Noir experience.
