AKA
Traminer
Musque, Gentil Rose Aromique and Red Traminer.
|
|
Geography
White grape of the Alsace region of France
and many German regions. Also grown in Northern
Italy, Eastern Europe and New World.
|
|
|
Viticulture
Grows best in cooler climates where good acidity
plays a significant role. The terroir of the Alsace
region reigns supreme. Other countries seem to
produce less exciting, blander versions.

|
Flavour
& Character
One of the world's most intensely floral and
aromatic wine—bursting with flavours of spice,
lychees and rose petals.
|
|
|
Vinification
Produced after the style of German Rhine wines
and sold under its grape name rather than region
of origin.
|
|
|
Style
Although all Gewürztraminers have real intensity,
styles vary from dry to richly sweet.
