| Verdict | New Zealand's best-selling alcohol-removed white, built the honest way: full-strength Sauvignon Blanc first, alcohol stripped after via spinning cone. | An expressive dealcoholized Sauvignon Blanc: grapefruit and pomelo, passion fruit, bright acidity and a delicate saline finish. |

| 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. | — |
