Traminette

Traminette Wine Details
Price:

Description: This Gewürztraminer hybrid produces a wonderfully spicy and aromatic amber colored grape. We slowly fermented this wine with oak at low temperatures. The wine has been aged in stainless steel tanks since the completion of fermentation. The resulting wine is aromatic, crisp and slightly acidic. The rose bouquet first noticed when smelling the wine slowly fades into a citrusy and spicy aroma reminiscent of kiwi or light grapefruit. Often made as an off-dry wine, we chose to keep our Traminette dry, crisp and bright. The result is a wine that pairs wonderfully with fish, fowl and other light fare. When chilled, it is a great pool-side, summer drink.

Varietal Definition
Traminette:
'Traminette' is a late mid-season white wine grape which produces wine with pronounced varietal character likened to one of its parents, 'Gewürztraminer'. 'Traminette' is distinguished by its superior wine quality combined with good productivity, partial resistance to several fungal diseases, and cold hardiness superior to its acclaimed parent, 'Gewürztraminer'.
