Pairing Wines with Butter Crab Dishes

Floral Pattern Floral Pattern

Chardonnay A rich, oaked Chardonnay enhances the buttery flavors of crab with its creamy texture and notes of vanilla and toast.

Sauvignon Blanc This wine’s bright acidity and citrus notes cut through the richness, providing a refreshing balance to the dish.

Pinot Grigio Light and crisp, Pinot Grigio offers subtle fruit flavors that won’t overpower the delicate taste of crab.

Riesling Choose a dry Riesling to match the sweetness of the crab meat and the richness of the butter sauce with its vibrant acidity.

Champagne The effervescence of Champagne cleanses the palate between bites, complementing the creamy texture and enhancing the overall experience.

Pinot Noir For a red wine option, a light-bodied Pinot Noir with low tannins pairs well without overshadowing the crab’s delicate flavors.

–Viognier This aromatic wine with floral and fruity notes adds a lovely complexity that pairs well with the richness of butter crab.

Wine Temperature Tips Serve white wines chilled and red wines slightly below room temperature for optimal flavor profiles.
