Main Divide

Main Divide Riesling 2014 Waipara Valley
Attractive bouquet of lemon, apple, grapefruit, spice, ginger and lime flower; honeysuckle and a core of apricot stone. On the palate - zesty, crisp, fruity and spice-laden; just dry with some residual sweetness from the ferment - adds to the creamy, rounded texture; plenty of acidity, great balance and length. Totally enjoyable example.
93 Points

Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Marlborough
Vibrant, fleshy, fruity and packed with Marlborough messages of passion fruit and grapefruit, crisp apple and quince. On the palate - crisp, dry, fruity with apple and lemon, fresh herb and some grassy moments, loads of acidity and freshness; a classically style wine with decent flavour and length.
88 Points

Main Divide Gewurztraminer 2016 Waipara Valley
Distinctive, fragrant, fruity and packed with aromas of nougat and spice, poached white fruits, roses and perfume. On the palate - fruity, fleshy, spicy, engaging and textured; flavours reflect the nose, a wine with medium+ weight, just enough acidity and lengthy finish. Plenty to like and enjoy with this example. This is a great wine choice for Duck confit and paté
93 Points
