More informations about the variety Traminette
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).
