What Is Gewürztraminer?

Gewürztraminer is a white grape variety that is believed to originate from the Alsace region of France, but it is also grown in Germany, Austria, and Australia. The name "Gewürztraminer" translates to "spiced Traminer" in German, referring to its intensely aromatic profile. This grape variety is known for producing wines with powerful floral aromas, such as rose petals, and exotic fruit flavours, including lychee, mango, and passionfruit. Gewürztraminer often has a slightly sweet or off-dry character, with lower acidity and a rich, full body, making it a distinctive and bold wine choice.

How Gewürztraminer Wine Is Made

• Harvesting: Gewürztraminer grapes are typically harvested when fully ripe to capture their intense aromatics and fruit flavours. In some regions, the grapes are left on the vine to develop even richer flavours.
• Fermentation: The wine is usually fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve its fresh fruit character and aromatic intensity.
• Aging: Gewürztraminer wines are typically not aged in oak barrels to retain their floral and fruity qualities. However, some producers may age them briefly to add more complexity.
• Bottling: After fermentation, the wine is bottled and ready for consumption. Many Gewürztraminers are best enjoyed young, but certain styles can develop well with age.
