Description:
Traminette is a hybrid white grape of more recent origin, which was released by Cornell University in 1996. It is a cross between Joannes Seyve and Gewürtraminer. The wine produced is distinctively spicy and fragrant with floral aromas and has some characteristics of German wines. We have approximately one acre planted in the field to the west of the tasting room. The wine is finished semi-dry, with about 2% residual sugar to balance the acid and flavor in the palette with the initial distinctive aromatic experience. The result is a crisp, balanced wine which pairs well with spicy foods such as Thai or other Asian dishes. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with no oak.
