A firm favourite of ours and quite possibly the greater population due to its inherently lovable nature. A definite inclusion on our list of 'comfort wines', Main Divide Riesling is so easy to enjoy.


Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Upon release its colour is bright lemon. The nose is a zestful medley of quince, lime, citrus blossom, and nectarine, wrapped in a steely mantle of flinty minerality. On the palate there is a lively tension, a rich and juicy mouthfeel balanced with gentle sweetness and a shot of refreshing acidity. Playful, yet full of finesse, the escapade closes with a lasting and piquant finish."


5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, December 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"This is instantly appealing with orange peel, grapefruit, honey and rich floral aromas, leading to a delectably expressed palate that's filled with ripe fruit intensity combined with elegant sweetness and plush texture, finishing long and satisfying."


Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Fragrant varietal aromas of lime and lemon, a touch of grapefruit and mandarin then apple. Lifted, ripe and enticing youthful bouquet. An off-dry style with a generous tickle of sweetness which is immediately contrasted by a backbone of acidity. Highlights from the apple and then pear and mandarin, lime-flower and citrus. Young and fleshy textured, juicy and salivating. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+."


93/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, August 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"An Alsace-style riesling with weight, richness and complexity. Medium-dry wine with a backbone of ripe acidity restraining sweetness. Vibrant, wine with lime zest, oyster shell, mandarin and orange blossom flavours."


92/100 JamesSuckling.com, March 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"White flowers with dried melon and pear. Some white pepper. Full-bodied, sweet and flavourful. Plenty of riesling character."


4 Stars Michael Cooper (2022 Vintage)
"The 2022 vintage of this Waipara wine is a distinctly medium style (23 grams/litre of residual sugar). Light lemon/green, it is aromatic and tangy, with fresh, crisp, peachy, citrusy flavours, a hint of oranges, vaguely honeyed notes, and very good depth. Still youthful, it should be at its best mid-2025+. (From Pegasus Bay.)"


Joelle Tomson, drinksbiz Magazine, October/November 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"This North Canterbury offering is always a winner with its concentrated lemon curd aromas and flavours of sweet fleshy mandarin and peach, all balanced beautifully by a twist of acidity that adds freshness and length to every sip. An ideal partner for Thai chicken dishes, or anything with lime flavours."

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. Matthew has many years experience making wine for both new and old world producers with a particular emphasis on Pinot Noir producing regions.
