Main Divide Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes grown in the Waipara Valley, New Zealand, a region known for its cool climate and long growing season. This environment allows for a slow ripening process, enhancing the wine's depth of flavor. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character, followed by aging in French oak barrels, which adds subtle complexity. The resulting wine is intended to be enjoyed young, offering a vibrant expression of red fruit flavors with balanced acidity and a smooth finish, making it approachable and versatile for various occasions.
