The 2024 Main Divide Gewürztraminer is a bit of a hidden gem amongst the Pegasus Bay range. It's wonderfully fragrant with super ripe fruits, florals and spice while the palate delivers rich flavours and luscious texture. This would have to be one of the best value and truly satisfying Gewürztraminers on the market today.
Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"On release the colour is lemon straw. A vibrant and perfumed bouquet enthrals the senses, tropical notes of lychee and pineapple studded with rose petals, spiced pear, lemon curd, ginger, and a hint of marzipan. The palate is lavish and multi layered, a rich mouthfeel balanced by ripe phenolics and a splash of sweetness, closing with a long, piquant tail.
We picked in stages from late-March to mid-April, timing each harvest to further optimise the grapes’ range of natural flavours. After arrival at the winery, the fruit was crushed and then left in contact with its skin for a short time to macerate. Following pressing, the juice was transferred into old oak puncheons, where it was left to ferment naturally. The wine was then matured for approximately 3 months in these barrels prior to bottling."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"A delightful bouquet of white fleshed fruits and spice, layers of sweet ginger and apple, peach and tropical fruits. There’s a floral finesse and tone that showcases the delicate side of the variety. A satin-cream almost tart mouthfeel, flavours of fruits and spice reflect the bouquet, medium+ acid line, fine tannins and lengthy, even finish. Well made, a wine that should be in all wine tasters cellar, best drinking from day of purchase through 2027+."

Main Divide is operated by the Donaldson family who work with a number of vineyards in North Canterbury, bringing the fruit together for processing at their winery in Waipara.
Like many New Zealand winemakers, Main Divide pursues a philosophy of natural methods and minimal intervention. They believe in sustainable viticulture, organic techniques, low crop levels, and minimal fruit handling during processing (along with gentle pressing).
Main Divide allows their wine to go through fermentation by wild yeasts, natural secondary or malo-lactic fermentation, and to clarify by settling.
