Oh Grape Wine Blog — Gewürtztraminer

Too thrilling for some, Gewürztraminer (Gewürtz for short) is an intensely aromatic and spicy white grape. Setting it apart from other white grapes, its light pink skin can give its wines a delightful golden colour.Gewürztraminer usually thrives in cooler climates (it is at home in the Alpine regions of France, Germany and Italy, but also thrives in the cooler regions of the New World), which brings out its floral aromas, but it needs a long ripening season and loves sunny and dry weather.Aroma-wise, expect lychees, rose petals (think Turkish Delight), sweet baking spices, tropical fruit and, some even say... Nivea Crème!...
