SAVVY LOVE
“New vintages of sauvignon blanc are usually released in late autumn and winter, although a number of boutique wineries hold onto them and have only just recently released last year’s vintage. Loveblock is one of those wineries. Owned by well-known winemaker Kim Crawford and his wife Erica, it’s a boutique winery in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. Its 2017 sauvignon blanc ($22) is organic, quite austere and elegant. Try it with the Golden Crispy Chicken recipe on page 134.”
