Gewürztraminer
Aromatic Alsatian grape
Gewürztraminer is a white wine grape variety known for producing aromatic, intensely flavored wines.
The German name means "spice Traminer," reflecting its origin as a variant of the Traminer grape and its characteristic spicy, floral notes.
The wines are typically off-dry to sweet, with aromas of lychee, rose, and ginger: a glass of Gewürztraminer with spicy Thai food.
Alsace produces the most celebrated examples.
