white grape

Gewürztraminer

Cool-to-cold; its aromatic intensity requires cool growing regions.

Known as: Gewürz, Traminer, Gewürztraminer

Gewürztraminer is the most aromatic grape in the world, with an explosively perfumed bouquet of lychee, rose and spice. Its name means 'spicy traminer', and it delivers.

The benchmark is Alsace, where it makes rich, oily, off-dry whites of remarkable power, and Germany's Pfalz adds beautiful balance.

For the buyer, Gewürztraminer is the wine to reach for with spicy Asian cuisine - its sweetness and exotic aromatics are a perfect foil.
