My Wine Man

This is for someone who wants a fresh, aromatic and food-friendly Pinot Gris from one of New Zealand’s most trusted producers at an accessible price.

Pinot Gris is one of the most food-versatile white wine varieties — rich enough to pair with fuller-flavoured dishes, fresh enough to work as an aperitif, and aromatic enough to be genuinely interesting in the glass. Kim Crawford’s version delivers all of this with the consistency and quality that has made the brand one of the most trusted names in New Zealand wine.

At HK$149, this is exceptional value for a Pinot Gris of this quality and consistency — a wine that over-delivers at the price and works beautifully across a wide range of occasions and food styles.

In my view, this is the ideal everyday Pinot Gris — fresh, aromatic and completely reliable.

What makes this wine stand out

This is all about Marlborough cool-climate aromatics and Kim Crawford’s winemaking precision.

Pear, white peach, nectarine and subtle floral notes sit at the core, with a hint of spice, gentle texture and a fresh, clean finish that speaks to the quality of the cool-climate Marlborough fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with natural acidity and a long, aromatic finish.

The defining feature is the balance — aromatic and textural without being heavy, fresh without being thin, with the kind of versatility and consistency that makes this a genuinely useful wine to have on hand.

Fresh, aromatic and completely satisfying.
