Kim Crawford Illuminate Lighter Pinot Gris 2025

Description

Apple, Medium-dry, Nectarine

Soft bronze in colour with fresh aromas of Nashi pear and delicate white peach. Light-bodied and refreshing, with juicy pear, ripe nectarine and apple crumble flavours alongside a subtle hint of spice. Easy-drinking and deliciously fresh.

Made naturally at just 5% alcohol, this Piquette relies on fresh fruit flavours rather than removing alcohol through industrial methods. The result is a bright, refreshing, lower-alcohol fruit wine without compromising on flavour.

Kim Crawford Wines began in a small Auckland cottage in 1996 and has since gained acclaim around the world. Known for doing things differently, the Illuminate range was created to offer flavourful lower and zero-alcohol options.

A barrel selection of hand picked and machine picked fruit was chosen. The grapes were pressed before undergoing malolactic fermentation, until the desired acid profile was obtained, followed by barrel aging for 11 months in a selection of new French and used oak to add further complexity and texture.

Food pairing: Grilled chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce, pan seared salmon, soft
cheeses or a delicious butternut risotto.
