This is what good wine from the Gewürztraminer grape tastes like

You can spot it a mile away: Gewürztraminer. It's the spiciest variety in the Traminer family. Golden yellow and with an almost bombastic aroma of lychees, roses, tropical fruit, and sometimes a hint of black pepper. Memorize the phrases above, and you'll be able to recognize it at a glance.

Gewürztraminer is best known to us from Alsace, where it is considered one of the four noble grapes, along with Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Muscat. Almost nowhere else in the world does it achieve such an intense and delicate aroma.

Nowhere? Well, we shouldn't underestimate the northern Italian region of Alto Adige. Gewürztraminer originates from this northern Italian region, which belonged to Austria until the First World War. The Italians make their Gewürztraminer a little more restrained than in Alsace. Tighter and with a less exuberant aroma.

The Austrians also play a significant role. Especially when the winemakers around Lake Neusiedl don't harvest the grapes until late autumn to make sweet Spätlese. That's when Gewürztraminer shows its most beautiful side. You can also find good examples in Germany and even in New Zealand you can now find very nice Gewürztraminers.

We currently have eight wines made from the Gewürztraminer grape in our range. You can view our Gewürztraminer wines here.
