The Donaldson family first made a commercial rosé in 2004, and it was labelled in the Main Divide range, rather than Pegasus Bay. Now comes the second release of a rosé with the 2018 vintage – it has been a long time between rosé drinks! The rise in popularity of the rosé category has been consumer driven, but also by the positive response of the winegrowers who have put more attention into making quality examples. This is a win-win situation. The Donaldsons found that there has been a growing demand for a rosé wine in their portfolio, hence this new release. I review the wine, along with the other classical wine for drinking as winter ends and the warmer months approach, a 2018 Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc. www.maindivide.com
