| Verdict | An alcohol-free Chardonnay of apple, pear, and light citrus. Soft and slightly sweet, with gentle acidity, a touch of vanilla, and a simple, clean, lightly f… | Vanilla and a light toasted oak, then a creamy sip that turns toward toast. The finish lingers. The profile is Chardonnay by texture and oak, not by fruit. |

| Likeness | The grape reads clearly. Apple, pear, and vanilla sit in a Chardonnay register, but the structure is lighter than wine and the glass is simpler than the grape usually is. | Vanilla, a creamy texture, and toasted oak are familiar Chardonnay cues, and they hold together as a style. The likeness is in that oak-and-cream profile, not in fruit. |
