| Verdict | Mount Fishtail's Zero Sauvignon Blanc is an alcohol-removed Marlborough white from the Upper Wairau Valley: passionfruit, citrus, fresh and expressive. | Passion fruit and citrus carry from aroma to palate, with gentle acidity balancing the fruit sweetness; the tropical notes linger briefly, then fade. |

| 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. | — |
