The Main Divide label has proven to be the runaway success for the Donaldson family in Waipara, and as the wines grow in stature and style, they now give nothing away to the senior Pegasus Bay tier wines. In some respects, the ability to source fruit from sites outside the family owned estate plantings allows greater blending diversity and options to achieve the relatively more accessible style that the Main Divide wines deliver. Winemakers Matt Donaldson and Lynette Hudson put their stamp of richness of character and texture resulting in considerable consumer appeal in the wines. Here are the latest Chardonnay and Merlot/Cabernet wines, proven performers in the past and worthy stablemates to the likes of the Riesling and Pinot Noir. www.maindivide.com
