Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"With its pale lemon sheen, the nose thrills the senses with a barrage of grapefruit, lemon grass, jalapeno and passionfruit, framed with snippets of citrus blossom and crushed thyme. As the volley subsides, it exposes a steely, mineral underbelly. The palate is tightly coiled, with a zesty and energetic mouthfeel, displaying vibrant acidity that flows through the mouth, delivering a lengthy, salivating climax."
92+/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, nicely pungent and fruity with an herbaceous edge lead to flavours of pineapple and a passionfruit, some fresh herbs and baseline of gravelly soil ideas. Holding the wine on the palate reveals a satin texture with contrasting acid line and flavours that reflect the bouquet plus lemon and a touch of cape gooseberry. The acid line has a touch pf natural spritz too adding to the mouthfeel and finish. Well made and ready to drink from 2024 through 2027."
91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Fresh and attractively lifted, the bouquet shows grape fruit, Gala apple, lemon zest and jasmine aromas. The palate delivers vibrant fruit intensity, combined with fine texture and juicy acidity, making it flavoursome and delightfully appealing. At its best: now to 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.
