A new generation of white wine made with green tea ingredients
"I've been researching antioxidants for a long time. Recently I've been using catechins extracted from green tea," says Erica, owner of Love Block.
Originally a medical scientist and chemist in South Africa, she launched a winery in New Zealand with renowned winemaker Kim Crawford. Now, she is taking on the difficult task of making antioxidants natural .
The wine they served at the event was Love Block's "Tea Sauvignon Blanc." It is a true gift from the combination of "wine and science," as it uses no antioxidants (sulfites) and only uses catechins derived from green tea to protect the wine from oxidation .
This is catechin powder. It tastes bitter when you lick it! The amount actually added to wine is so small that you won't notice any effect on the taste.
The finished "Tea Sauvignon Blanc" has a slightly oxidative taste, but also a full-bodied taste like biting into a kumquat or ripe Japanese citrus fruit, with a pleasant bitterness that spreads over your palate. It has a strong mineral feel, and the umami flavor lingers quietly on the palate. This is truly a wine that "slowly but surely tastes delicious."
Unlike the strong-flavored image of "natural wine" that one might imagine from the phrase "no added antioxidants," this wine is clean-cut, well-balanced, and easy to drink.
[Recommended pairing]
This unique balance and mild flavor goes well with battered or savory dishes, as well as gentle Japanese-style dishes.
- Fried shrimp
- Crab cream croquette
- Fish and chips
- Pork Shabu Salad (with yuzu and sesame dressing)
- Herb Sauteed Chicken
Another challenge from Love Block is to compete on scientific evidence and deliciousness without relying on the word "natural." When you drink a cup of coffee knowing this story, you will feel an even deeper flavor.
About the Winery "Love Block"
Love Block is a winery run by winemaker Kim Crawford and his wife Erica.
Kim gained experience working in wineries in Australia, Napa Valley and South Africa, before returning to his native New Zealand in 1988 and working as winemaker at Cooper's Creek for about 10 years.
He founded Kim Crawford with Erica in 1996, and two years later began exporting to the United States. The winery has since gained worldwide acclaim, including being repeatedly selected as one of Wine Spectator's Top 100 wineries.
However, seeking greater things, the couple sold Kim Crawford and founded Love Block in Awatere Valley, Marlborough.
Love Block's vineyards are located in Awatere and Central Otago. The Awatere vineyard was discovered by Erica in 2003. She fell in love with the view and the great potential of the land, and after many years of preparation, she started making wine.
The two value organic winemaking, which expresses the individuality of the land. They create an organic farm where animals such as chickens, sheep, and cows coexist with a wide variety of plants, and they make wine that respects the natural environment while valuing symbiosis with animals and nature. One of Awatere's vineyards, Love Block Farm, is BioGro certified.
Our Central Otago vineyards are located in Bendigo, the warmest part of the region, and we grow only Pinot Noir in the well-drained soils that receive ample sunshine.
About Marlborough
Marlborough is the heart of New Zealand's wine region.
Marlborough has ideal natural conditions for grape growing, such as abundant sunshine and large temperature differences throughout the day, and more than 80% of New Zealand's wine is produced there.
Among them, Sauvignon Blanc, characterized by its crisp acidity and overflowing fruitiness, is produced in overwhelming quantities and is loved worldwide for its unique character. In addition, Pinot Noir, with its rich berry fruit flavor, is also popular among red wines.
