Main Divide Pinot Gris is made by the world class Pegasus Bay crew. At one stage they weren’t all that bothered about adding their Main Divide label to the rat race of New Zealand Pinot Gris, a growing variety but yet to discover what it really wanted to be.
But when they had the opportunity to craft a style of Gris they were happy to stamp their name to, well, they were all over it like a rash! An impressive haul of accolades in previous vintages including being both Cuisine magazine and Michael Cooper’s No.1 Pinot Gris – this wine’s clearly shown it’s no one hit wonder over the years.
The 2024 is here and the good news is you’re in for more of the same if you love this wine! Rich, mouth-filling Gris that takes a walk on the sweeter side but perfectly balanced.
Scoring 93/100 with Cam Douglas MS, he said “A hat tip to the classic style from Alsace, harvested at optimal ripeness to deliver a range of natural flavours and white spice with fresh white nectarine and pear, a satin texture, refreshing acid line and distinctive mouthfeel.”
If it’s Indian or Thai for dinner this is the near perfect wine for it.
