LoveBlock
Founded by industry pioneers Kim and Erica Crawford, Loveblock is defined by a deep-seated commitment to organic and biodynamic farming on their untamed estate in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley and their rugged site in Central Otago. Their philosophy centers on "treading lightly" upon the earth, utilizing a holistic, chemical-free approach to create a thriving, biodiverse ecosystem where the vines can truly flourish. By paring back modern intervention, they produce wines of remarkable texture and elegance that express the raw, unadulterated energy of the landscape. While they are renowned for their sophisticated Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, they are perhaps most famous for their revolutionary Sauvignon Blanc, including the "TEE" range which uses green tea extract as a natural preservative instead of sulfur.
Loveblock Pinot Gris
Taste profile: This organic, single-vineyard Pinot Gris offers beautiful notes of prosciutto-wrapped melon and Nashi pear. The palate is complex and textured, balancing a rich mouthfeel with linear acidity and a clean, mineral finish of wet stone. Grown with love and made with care, it is a refined, vegan-friendly expression of the variety. Food Match: A "match made in heaven" with aromatic Asian cuisine—particularly Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese. It pairs perfectly with raw seafood, marinated white fish, and poached poultry with oriental herbs or coconut cream sauces.
