Gewürtztraminer

Gewürtztraminer Wine Details
Price: $9.00 per bottle

Description: Made with the German grape of the same name, this semi-sweet wine tastes of ripe apricots and spice with lingering hints of green apples and spice. A medium-bodied wine with a long finish. Lovely as an aperitif, compliments shellfish, toasted almonds and spiced desserts.

Varietal Definition
Traminer:
Parent grape of the popular Gewurztraminer clone. Still grown in France and in California but almost everywhere has been replaced by its much more intense and spicy offspring clone.
