| Verdict | Citrus and grapefruit in a light, slightly sweet Sauvignon Blanc, with a floral edge and a short, clean finish. | Mount Fishtail's Zero Sauvignon Blanc is an alcohol-removed Marlborough white from the Upper Wairau Valley: passionfruit, citrus, fresh and expressive. |

| Likeness | Light Sauvignon Blanc rather than a generic white: citrus and grapefruit, a touch sweet, with less snap than a sharper bottle. Modest likeness. | The Marlborough aroma survives: ripe passionfruit and citrus, present and aromatic. The palate stays fresh on a light frame, and passionfruit trails through a citric close. Varietal likeness, not the weight of a full bottle. |
