Traminette
Traminette is a hybrid wine grape variety that was developed in the United States. It is a cross between the French-American hybrid grape variety Gewürztraminer and an unknown Vitis labrusca variety, and is known for producing medium-bodied, aromatic white wines with floral and fruit flavours.
Notable regions
Traminette is is known for its hardiness and adaptability and is widely grown in the United States, particularly in the eastern regions where it is used in the production of still wines, sparkling wines, and dessert wines. The grape is often blended with other varietals to add a floral, spicy, and fruity component to the final wine. Some of the most notable wine regions for Traminette production include Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania.
Characteristics
Traminette wines tend to exhibit a floral, spicy and fruity aroma, with notes of peach, apricot, and jasmine. The flavour profile of Traminette wines can be described as medium-bodied with a balanced acidity and a slightly sweet taste.
The grape's distinct character is a result of its high levels of aromatic compounds and its strong flowery aroma. Traminette wines are often compared to Gewürztraminer for their spicy, floral character, but with a lighter body and lower alcohol content.
