Gewürtztraminer is a misspelling of Gewürztraminer, which is is a highly aromatic white wine grape that is known for its intense flavors and unique characteristics. This grape is primarily grown in the Alsace region of France, where it thrives in the cool climate and mineral-rich soils. It is also produced in Germany, Austria, and Italy, where it is known as Traminer.
Gewürztraminer wines are known for their distinct aromas of lychee, rose petals, and exotic spices. They have a rich, full-bodied texture and a slightly oily mouthfeel. The flavors are complex, with notes of tropical fruits, ginger, and honey. The wine has a high level of natural acidity, which balances out the sweetness and gives it a refreshing finish.
In the natural wine scene, Gewürztraminer is often made with skin-maceration, resulting in a herbal and complex Orange wine. Popular natural wine producers using Gewürztraminer include Jean-Marc Dreyer, Petr Marada, Pierre Frick, Les Vins Pirouettes and Kasynk.
