Main Divide Riesling

Main Divide may be the second tier label to the world class Pegasus Bay winery but don’t jump to any conclusions – this is a secondary label that punches above its weight.

Main Divide is the name given to the mighty Southern Alp range, nicknamed the “backbone of the South Island” by some southerners.

This is their latest 2024 release and as ever it’s quite simply a delicious glass. The Pegasus Bay crew describe it as “Fragrant and perfumed, the nose offers a rich tapestry of orange blossom and jasmine, interwoven with hints of lime peel, spiced apple, white fleshed pleach and a lick of honey. The palate has a delicious engagement, with a spritzy mouthfeel, attractive sweetness and
beautifully infused acidity. These elements unite, adding structure and length, on the long, citrus laden finish.”

And we’re backing this wine all the way – as far as Riesling goes it’s a total classic that we just simply love. A touch of sweetness and a wee bit spritzy. Simply delicious and an absolute perfect match with spicy Asian cuisine.
