| Verdict | Green apple, citrus, and white peach in a light-bodied, lightly sweet white with fresh acidity and a simple, clean finish. | New Zealand's best-selling alcohol-removed white, built the honest way: full-strength Sauvignon Blanc first, alcohol stripped after via spinning cone. | Sightlines by Ara Sauvignon Blanc has grapefruit, lemon and pineapple, with fresh herbs and a crisp, tart grapefruit finish. Our firsthand review. |

| Likeness | — | Marlborough in the aroma: grapefruit pith, tart passionfruit, a green grassy edge. The palate adds lemon shortbread, tart pear, and blackcurrant leaf on a lighter body. The fingerprint holds. The citrus close is a touch short. | Sauvignon Blanc in the herbal grapefruit and the tart close. Grapefruit, lemon, and pineapple lead, then bright citrus and tropical fruit with fresh herbs. The herbs keep the grape in the glass. The fruit is vivid. The finish is the stricter part. |
