Wines made from Traminette grapes of Missouri
Discover the best wines made with Traminette as a single variety or as a blend of Missouri.
Muscat-scented, structured whites with a golden robe, full palate and firm acidity. Intense aromas of rose, lychee, white flowers, yellow fruits (peach, apricot), honey and soft spices reminiscent of Gewürztraminer. Produced as dry, off-dry and sweet styles. Aromatic flagship of the American north-east (Indiana — the state's signature variety —, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania) and Canada. Hybrid created in 1965 by Cornell University (Joannes Seyve 23.416 × Gewürztraminer).
American Midwest vineyard, cradle of the first US AVA (Augusta, 1980, 8 months before Napa). Signature Norton/Cynthiana, the state's official grape and a native pride: dense, deeply coloured reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied black cherry, plum, coffee, leather and spices, firm tannins - fleshy age-worthy wines, robust against the humid continental climate. Also off-dry Vidal Blanc (citrus, honey), fruity red Chambourcin, peppery Cabernet Franc, lively Seyval Blanc.
