Pegasus Bay's Main Divide label is a Canterbury favourite, long renown for quality and value. This 2023 Pinot Noir is another quality release – quite savoury in style with dark fruits, smoky charry oak combining for a very tasty, great value Pinot Noir.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"At release it has a bright ruby complexion. On the refined nose you are greeted by delicate aromas of cherry, pomegranate, cinnamon and violet, meshed with nuances of wet stone, bonfire embers and a dash of aged soy. A fine acid backbone supports the savoury red fruit, backed by velvety tannins that enrich the palate, creating a sleek and silky mouthfeel. Brimming with finesse and vitality, it tapers to a lasting, focussed finish."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"The inviting bouquet shows sweet plum, olive, star anise, and roasted nut aromas. The palate offers ripe fruit intensity with spicy nuances, beautifully supported by fleshy texture and silky tannins, finishing long and soothing. Gorgeously composed and expressed with enticing complexity. At its best: now to 2029."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"A bouquet filled with scents of plums and black currant the dark-skinned cherry and earth-smoke of stones and clay. Some barrel spice suggestion build in breadth. On the palate a dry wine with a concentration of red berry fruit flavours framed by the texture of tannins and acidity. Perfectly weight with persistent flavours and moderate+ length. best drinking from day of purchase through 2030."
92/100 Bob Campbell MW, July 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"Light, fresh and pleasantly rustic red with violet, fresh herb, cherry and mixed spice flavours supported by fine, drying tannins. Appealing wine that can be enjoyed in its youth or within a few years."

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.
Wine-maker Matthew Donaldson many years of experience and passion to produce a range of wines that show fresh, clean and pure fruit flavours while at the same time clearly expressing the characteristics of each unique vineyard.
