Recommended wine: Moscato Dasti, Late Harvest Riesling, Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc

Moscato d'Asti, Late Harvest Riesling, and Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Key Lime Pie. Since key lime pie is fairly tart, you can go with any of these sweet wines to balance it out. You could try Prunotto Moscato d'Asti. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 22 dollars per bottle.
Prunotto Moscato d'Asti
Prunotto Moscato d'Asti
Intense pale yellow in colour. On the nose: typical Moscato characteristics with hints of acacia honey and hawthorn. On the palate: full, dense, vigourous and elegant with a pleasant, armonious and fresh finish. At its best with fresh fruits (good also mixed with strawberries, peaches and forest fruits) and with pastries. To be served cool at 10°C.
