The Sauvignon Selection by CMB is an international wine competition whose goal is to showcase the diversity of Sauvignon Blanc. The event takes place annually in spring in a selected wine region. In 2018, Steiermark/Styria was already the host country, and the tasting took place in the provincial capital of Graz.
In 2024, the jury members will blind taste Sauvignon Blancs from all over the world right in the middle of the STEIERMARK wine region, internationally known as Styria. The competition will take place at Bildungszentrum für Obst- und Weinbau Silberberg – Landesgut Silberberg in Leibnitz, the regional winemaking school. The supporting program will take participants to the three wine-growing regions of Südsteiermark, Vulkanland Steiermark and Weststeiermark. Steiermark/Styria, as the most mountainous wine-growing region of Austria and with an illyrian climate offers optimal conditions for fragrant, juicy Sauvignon Blancs. In addition to excellent wines, there are many more reasons to visit the Green Heart of Austria: the green, lush landscape, winegrowers who warmly welcome their guests to their family-run wineries and typical winery restaurants called Buschenschanken, the rattling Klapotetz, the landmarks of the region and much more.
