Season meat on all sides with paprika, salt and pepper, to taste. Score the fat for a nicer look, if desired. Heat oil with a sage leaf in a large Dutch oven/skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork loin; saute for about 5 minutes per side; place in crockpot.
Stir in wine, chicken stock, shallots, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover; cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours, until the pork is completely cooked and no longer pink inside. Remove pork from the slow cooker to a platter; cover; keep warm.
In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream and cornstarch; stir into crock pot with the cooking juices; cover. Cook on high for an another 10-15 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
In the meantime, cut pork loin into slices; place back into the crock pot to reheat for several minutes. When warmed, place slices back onto the platter;
garnish with sage leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning of the sauce with salt and pepper.
Immediately serve pork slices with the creamy sauce over rice, pasta, potatoes.
