Mount Fishtail Sauvignon Blanc
Mount Fishtail Zero Sauvignon Blanc is a non-alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, with the bright citrus, tropical fruit and herbaceous character the region is known for. Crisp and lively, it opens with citrus and tropical aromatics, followed by fresh fruit, subtle green notes and a clean mineral finish.
The wine is fully fermented before the alcohol is gently removed using cool vacuum distillation at just 86°F, a low-temperature process designed to preserve more of the original wine's aroma and flavor. The result is fresh, expressive and recognizably Sauvignon Blanc, with the acidity and crispness that make this style so good with food.
Why We Love It
This is a great example of why the way a non-alcoholic wine is made matters. Mount Fishtail starts with real Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and goes to considerable lengths to preserve its character through dealcoholization.
We love that it still has those classic Sauvignon Blanc cues: bright citrus, tropical fruit, freshness and a little herbaceous edge. It’s clean and crisp rather than sweet or heavy, making it an easy recommendation for Sauvignon Blanc drinkers looking for a non-alcoholic version that still feels connected to the wine they know.
How to Drink Mount Fishtail Zero Sauvignon Blanc
Serve well chilled in a wine glass. This one doesn’t need much fussing with. Its bright acidity and crisp citrus character make it especially good as an aperitif or alongside fresh, salty and herb-forward foods.
Especially good with: goat cheese and herb crostini, oysters with cucumber mignonette, fish tacos with avocado and lime, grilled prawns with chimichurri, Vietnamese summer rolls, asparagus with lemon and Parmesan, or a bright peach and burrata salad.
