Gewürztraminer

Gewürztraminer is a white wine grape variety that is grown in several wine regions around the world, including France, Germany, Italy, and California. It is known for producing aromatic and flavorful wines with a distinctive spicy character, along with flavours and aromas of lychee, rose petals, and tropical fruit.

In France, Gewürztraminer is primarily grown in the Alsace region, where it is used to make varietal wines that are prized for their intense aroma and flavour profile. These wines are often medium-bodied with a slightly off-dry to sweet style and are well-suited to a range of spicy and flavorful foods, such as curries, chilli, and Asian-inspired dishes.

Gewürztraminer is a relatively low-yielding grape variety, which can make it more challenging for winemakers to produce in large quantities. It is also a late-ripening variety, which can make it vulnerable to problems with rot and other issues in cool and damp growing conditions.

Overall, Gewürztraminer is a highly aromatic and flavorful grape variety that is appreciated by many wine drinkers for its unique character and versatility with food. If you’re looking to try a Gewürztraminer wine, look for bottles from the Alsace region or other regions where the grape is grown, and be prepared for a wine with a strong, aromatic character and a slightly off-dry to sweet style.
