Description
Loveblock's 2023 Sauvignon Blanc hails from Marlborough, New Zealand's leading region for the varietal. What distinguishes this wine is its willingness to move beyond the region's typical bright acidity and herbaceous profile into more complex territory.
The aromatics shift as you approach the glass, revealing layers that build with each sniff: medicinal herbs give way to blackcurrant, green capsicum, passion fruit, and lime. On the palate, the wine's real character emerges through its texture. Despite a light frame, there's a pleasing density through the middle, which then gives way to a dry, herbal finish with genuine drive and punch. The complexity you find in the glass likely owes to the producer's varied fermentation vessels, each contributing its own fingerprint to the final blend.

Expert Reviews
This is not your average 2023 Sauvignon Blanc. It's aromatically intriguing, with different layers appearing with every sniff. Initially, there are notes of medicinal herbs, followed by blackcurrant, green capsicum, passion fruit and even lime. Perhaps the diversity of scents could be attributed to the combination of fermentations across tanks, oak barrels, concrete eggs and amphorae. The palate is focused on texture: there's reassuring padding on the mid-palate despite being light in body, while there's drive and punch on the dry, herbal finish.
