| Verdict | Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc shape without the sugar trap: gooseberry and lime, bright citrus on the palate, clean lingering lime on the exit. | Sightlines by Ara Sauvignon Blanc has grapefruit, lemon and pineapple, with fresh herbs and a crisp, tart grapefruit finish.

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