"It's beautifully fruited and delightfully expressed on the nose, showing dark plum, blackberry, thyme, toasted hazelnut and subtle game characters. The palate is plump and gorgeously flavoursome with excellent fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, making it comforting and very tasty." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2020

"Toffee, smoke, yeast extract, crushed leaf and charry elements, becoming more fragrant with time in the glass. A rush of sweet fruit evolves to savoury nuances, adding chocolate, leaf, lead pencil and spice notes, growing and building in the glass with aeration. A little tangy bite on the close. A reliable choice" Mark Henderson, Wine Times, Jun 2020

Its colour is deep ruby, with tantalising dark fruit aromas of blackberry, cherry and plum. Intertwined with this are hints of chocolate, liquorice and vanilla, along with savoury notes of wood smoke and spice. The mouthfeel is silky and succulent, with ripe tannins that provide balance and structure. A long hot summer has delivered a beautifully crafted, harmonious wine, displaying both power and finesse.

Settled weather in North Canterbury during December provided optimal conditions for flowering. A very hot summer then enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully. The free draining stony soil helped mitigate the effects of some late summer rain, and the ensuing dry autumn meant the fruit was able to be picked in excellent condition.

Main Divide is the local name for the Southern Alps and is the backbone of the South Island, where grapes for Main Divide are exclusively sourced. Vineyards have been selected for their quality and ability to express unique regional flavours.

This wine is made in the same style as the celebrated Claret from Bordeaux, using traditional methods. After being picked in April, the grapes began fermentation naturally in stainless steel tanks. During this process the juice was regularly drained and sprayed back over the cap of floating grape skins (rather than plunging), to ensure a perfect tannin balance was extracted from the fruit. The wine was then gently pressed off and put into French oak barriques (10% new). The following summer, when the weather warmed, it underwent a natural malo-lactic (secondary) fermentation. After maturing in oak for 18 months, the various batches were then carefully blended in varying portions to produce the most complex and balanced wine possible. The finished product is a blend of approximately 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Malbec.

Food Pairing: Paired well with grilled red meats & hearty, comforting pasta dishes

works, just not the strongest magnet.
magnet will hold a drill but anything much heavier it will start to slide. have on e on fridge, 2 on safe and on on garage cabinet. fridge and safe hold the least, i guess due to plastic over magnet and coating on the safe and fridge. cabinet does best but still will slide with any significant weight. holds my drills ok however.
