The 2008 Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc has great lift on the nose with gooseberry, nettle and earth. Good definition. The palate is lively with ripe green apple, gooseberry and a touch of spice. Good weight and a lovely lemon zest finish. Excellent value. Villa Maria continues to serve as the great ambassadors to New Zealand wine, appealing to both supermarket consumers and connoisseurs.
