It was founded in 2012 by Kim and Erica Crawford, who had previously created and sold one of New Zealand's largest wine brands, Kim Crawford. The Loveblock estate vineyard is located in the Marlborough sub-region of Awatere Valley. Here, a north facing aspect maximises the sunshine exposure to encourage ripening of the Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Riesling. The company also owns the 9ha (22acre) Someone's Darling vineyard in Central Otago, which is planted mostly to Pinot Noir in a variety of different clones. Beyond the familiar varieties, Loveblock has explored grapes which are not as common in New Zealand and makes wine from Gewürztraminer, Moscato and Chenin Blanc. In the winery, only certified organic products including yeasts and fining agents are employed to ensure that portfolio exhibits the terroir from which the grapes are sourced. Loveblock was officially established in 2012 after the end of a restraint-of-trade agreement, which had prevented Crawford from producing wine for a number of years following the sale of his eponymous brand.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-04T16:14:18-04:00","created_at":"2024-04-01T14:01:09-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_New Zealand","Other_Wine","Producer_Loveblock","Region_Marlborough","RK300324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Sauvignon Blanc"],"price":16600,"price_min":16600,"price_max":16600,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44585377759370,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2021 | Loveblock | Tee Sauvignon Blanc","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":16600,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/42_b9d69bb2-2798-40a1-9515-3f3263588b1d.png?v=1711994524"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/42_b9d69bb2-2798-40a1-9515-3f3263588b1d.png?v=1711994524","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2021 | Loveblock | Tee Sauvignon Blanc at CaskCartel.com","id":26608391094410,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.311,"height":472,"width":147,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/42_b9d69bb2-2798-40a1-9515-3f3263588b1d.png?v=1711994524"},"aspect_ratio":0.311,"height":472,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/42_b9d69bb2-2798-40a1-9515-3f3263588b1d.png?v=1711994524","width":147}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhite \u003c\/span\u003eWine: 2021 | Loveblock | Tee Sauvignon Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinctive and aromatic, with floral details and touches of orange water, dried pineapple, peach cobbler, honeycomb and toasted herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Loveblock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWE\u003c\/span\u003e | 93  \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eVN\u003c\/span\u003e | 90\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2021\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e New Zealand, Marlborough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinctive and aromatic, with floral details and touches of orange water, dried pineapple, peach cobbler, honeycomb and toasted herbs.
