| Verdict | Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc shape without the sugar trap: gooseberry and lime, bright citrus on the palate, clean lingering lime on the exit. | Passion fruit and citrus carry from aroma to palate, with gentle acidity balancing the fruit sweetness; the tropical notes linger briefly, then fade. |

| Likeness | Very good: chilled, it reads as Sauvignon Blanc rather than generic nonalcoholic white. | — |
