| Verdict | Citrus and grapefruit in a light, slightly sweet Sauvignon Blanc, with a floral edge and a short, 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. |

| Likeness | Light Sauvignon Blanc rather than a generic white: citrus and grapefruit, a touch sweet, with less snap than a sharper bottle. Modest 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. |
