Waipara, New Zealand
- A second label with first flavours providing outstanding value
- From the Waipara stable of Pegasus Bay, the Main Divide label that has enough attention grabbing characteristics as the mountain range it’s named after.
- Citrus and mineral acid flavours are dominant, as soon as you experience this wine, subsiding to the softer fruits of melon and peach after the wine mellows in your mouth. Evidence of the 18 months spent in old oak appears as buttered toast characteristics. But it is the backbone of mineral acid that defines this wine showing some serious hang time in the mouth. Ultimately this is a great value Chardonnay with great flavour complexity perfect to accompany dishes, like an apricot chicken or prawn salad.
- Case of 6 ($23.90/bottle)

Four separate harvests were completed for Greenhough’s Sauvignon Blanc over a fortnight at the end of March. Textural and aromatic yeasts were chosen for tank fermentation, with 4% of the juice going into barrel for a wild ferment resulting in a wine profile of varying layers. Floral aromatics initiate you into the familiar Sauvignon flavours unfolding as fresh herbs, capsicum and pears. The delight comes when you find a little bit extra in the taste, from this assertive yet elegant Sauvy. Mouthfilling ripe tropical flavours of capsicum, gooseberry and melon enter your tastebuds touched by fresh herbs. After which you gain a feel for the complexity of the varying components to this wine. A textural savouriness, with a touch of spice starts to show, ending in a crisp dry finish.
