We find that the Main Divide Chardonnay pairs very well with all kinds of mushroom dishes, such as porcini risotto or pasta in a cream of button mushroom sauce. It also goes very well with veal cutlets in a light sauce. You can also enjoy it with a pan-seared shrimp dish. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Main Divide is the local name for the Southern New Zealand Alps, the backbone of New Zealand\u2019s South Island. The exceptional grapes used for this Chardonnay come from there, from the Waipara Valley. The vineyards were selected for their exceptional quality and their ability to express the region\u2019s character in the wine. This Chardonnay is vinified using traditional Burgundian methods. The grapes were hand-harvested, gently pressed without destemming, and the juice was immediately transferred to French barriques for natural fermentation. There, the wine also underwent lees aging and a second, malolactic fermentation. The wine was then aged in barrel for 12 months before bottling. <\/p>\n

Beautifully fruity and inviting, the Main Divide Chardonnay features delicate aromas of peach, apricot, lemon, and fig, paired with vanilla, hazelnut, and a toasty note, as well as hints of flinty minerality. On the palate, it is juicy and round, wonderfully balanced and intense, supported by a pleasant creaminess and refreshing acidity. The overall impression culminates in a long, complex finish. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[4144,3845,3866,3872,4137,4141,4147,4149,4161,4184,4205,4206],"product_tag":[3969,4043,4055,4126,4128,4130,4688,4691,4694,4700,4703],"class_list":["post-7426","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-mild-harmonious","product_cat-wines","product_cat-wine-type","product_cat-white-wines","product_cat-wine-style","product_cat-savory-spicy","product_cat-velvety-round","product_cat-chardonnay-en","product_cat-wine-origin","product_cat-new-zealand","product_cat-waipara-en","product_cat-main-divide-wine-en","product_tag-chardonnay-en","product_tag-main-divide-wine-en","product_tag-new-zealand","product_tag-waipara-en","product_tag-wines","product_tag-white-wines","product_tag-fish-flaky","product_tag-shrimps","product_tag-squids","product_tag-fish-medium-firm","product_tag-scallop","pa_alkoholgehalt-14-5-en","pa_allergenhinweis-contains-sulphites","pa_anbau-bewirtschaftung-conventional","pa_dekantieren-empfohlen-no","pa_empfohlenes-glas-chardonnay-glass","pa_geschmack-dry","pa_jahrgang-2018-en","pa_lebensmittelunternehmer-wine-in-motion-gmbh-kellerweg-4-84494-neumarkt-sankt-veit-deutschland-en","pa_nettofuellmenge-0-75-en","pa_rebsorten-chardonnay-en","pa_reifepotential-until-2024","pa_restzucker-1-1-en","pa_saeure-6-6-en","pa_trinkreife-from-now","pa_trinktemperatur-8-10-en","pa_vegan-produziert-yes","pa_verpackungseinheit-6-en","pa_verschlussart-screw-cap","pa_weingut-main-divide-wine-en","pa_weinland-new-zealand","pa_weinregion-waipara-en","pa_weinstil-hearty-spicy","pa_weinstil-mild-harmonious","pa_weinstil-velvety-round","pa_weintyp-white-wine","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
