Loveblock is a small organic vineyard project housed at the end of Ugbrooke Road in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley that has been all-consuming for Kim and Erica Crawford for the last few years. A radical departure from commercial sauvignon, this has sweet lemongrass, basil and riverbank flowers on the nose followed by a juicy, multi-layered palate of white pepper, passionfruit sorbet, fennel and feijoa. Succulent and saucy and sensational with creamy, chunky seafood chowder.
