English term or phrase: crip lime
I am translating a menu and am currently busy with the wine part where one of the flavors is "crip lime"

Sauvignon - fresh kiwi, passion fruit, crip lime.

What is "crip lime"?

Thank you very much for your help!

Best,

German translation:Can this be a spelling error?
Explanation:
I have never come across this term for describing either the flavour or the bouquet of a wine in over 30 years of experience in the trade, and am reasonably sure it's either a local usage or a spelling/printing mistake. Does this help?

Dazu gesellt sich eine angenehm frische Zitrusnote am Gaumen, die dem Wein Frische und Lebendigkeit verleiht:

Die Sauvignon-Blanc-Rebsorte bringt eine frische Zitrusnote mit grasigen Nuancen hervor:

Mir ist die "fresh Kiwi" noch im Kopf herumgegeistert. Zweimal "frisch" klingt ja nicht so, wie es schmecken sollte ;-)
Es finden sich einige professionelle Weinbeschreibungen, in denen von junger Kiwi die Rede ist:

Die Säure erinnert an eine junge Kiwi, ist dabei aber keineswegs zu stark:
