Main Divide is the second label of Pegasus Bay Winery, a family-owned estate situated in North Canterbury, New Zealand. The winery is renowned for producing wines that express the unique terroir of the region, characterised by its cool climate and diverse soils. The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from grapes sourced from the Te Hau vineyard on Georges Road and a local North Canterbury grower.
The 2024 Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc displays a pale lemon hue. The nose is vibrant, offering a medley of grapefruit, lemongrass, jalapeño, and passionfruit, accented by citrus blossom and crushed thyme. As these aromas settle, a steely, mineral undertone emerges. On the palate, the wine is tightly coiled, exhibiting a zesty and energetic mouthfeel with vibrant acidity that flows through to a lengthy, salivating finish.
