Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer is a white grape variety with a high natural sugar content used to make wine with floral, orange citrus and tropical flavours - typically lychees, rose petals and passionfruit. The grape performs best in cooler climates thanks to its low acidity not coping with the extra sugar produced in warmer climates and becoming flat and drab. The best examples are from the Alsace in North Eastern France, Germany, but good examples can also be found in the New World, notably New Zealand and Argentina.
