Pegasus Bay Winery

Pegasus Bay is a 100% family-owned winery based in the Waipara Valley, 30 minutes north of Christchurch. They create many wines across two labels: Pegasus Bay and Main Divide. Pegasus Bay wines are made exclusively with estate-grown grapes from their 100-acre vineyard where planting began in 1985. The Main Divide label is also made at Pegasus Bay Winery but with fruit sourced from selected South Island growers.

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.
