Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc, 2019
The wine is pale lemon in colour, with vibrant tropical fruit aromas of passionfruit and lychees. Layered beneath there are hints of gooseberry, citrus and dried herbs. The palate is generous, yet remains fresh and lively, with a satisfying crisp finish.

Main Divide is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes souced vineyards in the South Island. Vineyards have been selected for their quality and ability to express unique regional flavours. The grapes were picked in separate batches during April, the aim being to produce a spectrum of ripe yet zesty aromas and flavours in the finished wine. After gentle pressing of the berries, the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to help the wine express its varietal purity. It was subsequently kept on its natural yeast deposit (sur lie) for a short while before bottling, in order to help fill out the mid-palate and add extra complexity.

Pale lemon colour. Vibrant tropical fruit aromas of passionfruit and lychees, with hints of gooseberry, citrus and dried herbs. Generous in the mouth, yet fresh and lively, with a long, satisfying crisp finish.
