Gewurztraminer
Alsatian aromatic white
Gewurztraminer is a white wine grape variety known for producing aromatic, often sweet wines with notes of lychee, rose, and spice.
The grape has pink skin and thrives in cooler climates, particularly Alsace.
The wines range from dry to dessert-style: a glass of Gewurztraminer with spicy Thai food.
Also spelled with the German umlaut as Gewürztraminer. (Lowercase gewurztraminer appears in casual wine writing.)
