Green apple, lemon and lime lift on the nose. Come-alive lime flavours on the palate with mouth-watering juiciness. Perfectly medium-bodied and versatile with a wide range of dishes. Great aperitif too. Yum!

Pinot Gris food pairings: grilled lobster tail in butter, stir-fried shrimp, grilled salmon.

Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Loved this 2011 Pinot Gris from Kim Crawford with flavors of pineapple and orange blossom and an earthy spice. A great wine paired with chicken.
Joe Hache Prince Edward Count rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Kim Crawford continues to impress! A hint of green showing through the straw color, I found an apple aroma with a pleasing hint of citrus. The taste was rich and ripe with honey and peach notes and was very smooth.

It would go with a variety of dishes but Delores said it paired perfect when we had lobster (then again to be honest, she has never found a wine that didn't go well when she has lobster!)
This very attractive, slightly off-dry style of Pinot Gris is a great choice. Pithy citrus, baked apple and lime nose over spicy, ripe apricot and stone fruit notes. Score: 3 (out of 5). Source: Decanter World Wine Awards, 2012
