2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Main Divide by Pegasus Bay

North Canterbury, New Zealand

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.

Pegasus Bay is one of New Zealand’s most esteemed family-owned wineries, located in the Waipara Valley of North Canterbury. Founded in 1986 by Ivan and Christine Donaldson, who were among the pioneers of viticulture in the region, the estate has remained a true family affair, with all four of their sons actively involved in its operation today.

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 fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness (approximately 23° Brix) to enhance richness. After gentle pressing, the free-run juice underwent cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks and was bottled shortly thereafter to preserve its zesty aromas and vibrant fruit character. Minimal winemaking intervention was employed to allow the vintage, variety, and vineyards to express themselves harmoniously.
