Loveblock, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2019

May 5, 2020

By Wayne Belding

 New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is a worldwide favorite.  Marlborough, a district on the north end of New Zealand’s South Island, is synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc.  That variety is, by far, the most planted grape in the nation.  The Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc is a delicious example of Marlborough’s distinctive style.  Crafted by legendary winemaker Kim Crawford, it shows a wonderful combination of peach, pink grapefruit and guava fruit scents followed by hints of lily and fresh herbs.  The flavors of mouthwatering citrus, peach and tropical fruits are backed by subtle floral and herbal hints.  The wine is refreshing, layered, richly textured and is a great match for most any seafood or poultry dish.
