| Description: | Marlborough, New Zealand\r\nEstate Grown\r\nSustainably Farmed\r\nCertified Organic BioGro NZ\r\nVegan\r\nWinemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nWater white with a hint of green and gold. Clear and attractive pineapple, peach and lychee aromas, with crushed green herbs, wet stone minerality and a hint of white pepper spice. In the mouth it is dry, pure and fresh with ripe pineapple, peach and yellow apple, followed by hints of meadow grass on a hot summers day. Plenty of mineral energy and citrus-inspired flavors linger on the palate, underscored by umami.\r\nFood Pairing - oysters, seafood, spaghetti alle vongole and chicken.\r\nAbout Loveblock Winery\r\nI am Erica, one half of a duo dedicated to Loveblock.\r\nBack in 2004, this was a wild piece of land, untamed and hidden from the world. We, Kim and I, have both been working in the wine industry for most of our lives and wondered what we could do with this wildness: how would the unique terroir translate to flavours in wine? Can we make wine that\u00a0is elegant, restrained and complex? Wine that speaks of its place and a season.\r\nHere in New Zealand land is precious; the economy largely depends on agriculture. As grape growers and wine farmers, we are custodians of this land. We must take care of it, restore soil balance and fertility without commercial fertilisers and chemical protection. We have learnt that the rhythm of the land is immoveable, that we need to submit to it and respect it to get the best from it.\r\nWe want to make the best wine we can, wine that speaks with the voice of naked terroir. To do this I hired the best winemaker I know. \r\nThe wines are processed in a small Organically Certified Winery, developing at their own pace.\r\nSustainability is relative and can mean different things to different people in different places. Nz Winegrowers has adopted a unified Sustainable Winegrowing programme (swnz), a pioneering set of industry standards. Ninety five per cent of New Zealand vineyards are now Swnz accredited.\r\nThe standard provides a framework for companies to continually work to improve all aspects of performance in terms of environmental, economic and social aspects of their businesses.\r\nWhile some chemicals are used under this regime, they are limited to the minimum and applied to specific Loveblock blocks. |
