A blend of grapes from the Awatere and Wairau valleys under Villa Maria's mid-range label. The fact that Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc consistently achieves silver or gold medal awards speaks volumes about the winery's attention to quality. Quite punchy fruit with red capsicum. gooseberry lime zest and passion fruit characters. Good flavour concentration and sweetness with lively juicy acidity promoting a bone-dry and lengthy finish.
