2020 Loveblock Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc – Organic
5 Stars / 98 Points
“Certified organic, this is a top vintage of this single-vineyard, Awatere Valley wine. Showing excellent complexity (one-third of the blend was aged in a mix of clay amphorae, barrels and concrete eggs), it is mouthfilling, fleshy, sweet-fruited and dry, with concentrated, ripely herbaceous flavours and a finely balanced, long finish. Drink now or cellar.”
2020 Loveblock Marlborough TEE Sauvignon Blanc – No Sulphur Added & Organic
4 Stars / 95 Points
“This highly distinctive wine uses “green tea as a natural antioxidant instead of sulphur.” Certified organic, it was estate-grown in the lower Awatere Valley and a third of the blend was barrel-fermented. Pale gold, it is fresh and full-bodied, with strong, vigorous, tropical fruit flavours, a touch of tannin, crisp acidity and lots of youthful drive. From far outside the mainstream, it’s worth discovering.”

“This graceful, vibrantly fruity and youthful red was mostly estate-grown at Bendigo. Deep ruby, with a fragrant, fresh, slightly spicy bouquet, it is mouthfilling and supple, with strong cherry, plum and spice flavours, a subtle seasoning of oak, lively acidity and gentle tannins. Best drinking 2023+.”
