Marlborough | Awatere Valley | Certified Organic | Dry Pinot Gris

Tasting Notes

Pale with golden touches. Elegant aromas of rockmelon yield to layers of chamomile and citrus. Beautiful prosciutto-wrapped melon, Nashi pear and fruit notes are underscored with lingering texture, mouthfeel and linear acidity. The palate is complex, finishing with hints of wet stone minerality. Cellaring: up to 10 years.

A dry, savoury Pinot Gris with real texture and mineral length.

Why you'll love it: A grown-up, dry style of Pinot Gris, rockmelon and Nashi pear wrapped around a textured, mineral core rather than sweetness. Endlessly food-friendly and good for the cellar.

About Loveblock

Loveblock is the certified-organic project of Kim and Erica Crawford, who created it after selling the eponymous Kim Crawford label they had built into one of New Zealand's best-known brands. Perched high on the hills above Marlborough's Awatere Valley, the vineyards are farmed organically and regeneratively, with a deliberately light hand in the winery so that the site, rather than the winemaking, does the talking. With more than thirty years of winemaking behind him, Kim crafts a small range of aromatic, terroir-driven whites that have become a byword for honest, naturally made New Zealand wine.

Perfect with prosciutto-wrapped melon, a charcuterie board, roast pork, or a creamy mushroom pasta. Its texture and dryness handle richer dishes with ease.
