Gewürztraminer
Few grapes are as instantly recognizable as Gewürztraminer. Its heady perfume of lychee, rose petal, and exotic spice is unmistakable, creating wines of remarkable intensity. Originating from Alsace, it thrives in cool climates where its naturally low acidity can be balanced by freshness. Often off-dry, it pairs wonderfully with spicy cuisine, while late-harvest versions can develop honeyed richness. Bold, expressive, and undeniably distinctive, Gewürztraminer is a love-it-or-hate-it variety that captivates those who embrace its opulence.
