The Donaldson family have been seriously involved in wine since
the early 1970's and were pioneers of local grape growing and wine
making. Their passion has been recognised by others with Pegasus
Bay being awarded numerous accolades including being recently rated
as one of New Zealand's top five wine producers by celebrated
American wine writer, Robert Parker. Their focus on quality begins
in the vineyard with an unusually large vineyard staff that allows
operations such as shoot thinning, crop thinning, bunch exposure
and fruit selection, to be carried out meticulously. Across the two
wine labels (Pegasus Bay and Main Divide) an extensive range of
wines is produced with the focus predominantly on Riesling and
Pinot Noir, however Chardonnay, Sauvignon Semillon and Merlot
Cabernet also form a important part of their range.
