What I drank in the holidays

Loveblock Marlborough Pinot Gris 2018 – $21.99(Glengarry)

“From Kim Crawford’s organic boutique winery. Aromas of stone fruit and citrus. Lush and fruity, with crisp pear, rock melon and a lengthy finish. Great with seafood.”

2018 Loveblock Marlborough Pinot Gris – Organic & Vegan Friendly
“Delicious young, this is an organically certified wine, estate-grown in the Awatere Valley. Attractively scented, it is fresh and full-bodied, with strong, pure pear, peach and spice flavours, gentle acidity, vague sweetness, a slightly oily texture and a well-rounded finish. Fine value.”
