Shop for Gewurztraminer

Gewurztraminer, a spicy white wine originally hailing from the German-speaking town of Tramin in Northern Italy, has been cultivated for centuries but is enjoying a surge in popularity in recent years. "Gewurz" is famous for its aromatic nose and spicy flavor notes, and some of the world's best examples of Gewurztraminer come from the French region of Alsace. Wine lovers flock to Gewurz for its classic fruit notes, and while the wine is often sweet-smelling to the nose, it's often a dry white wine on the palate.

Outside of Alsace, wine made from the Traminer grape is most prevalent in Germany, Austria, Canada, and right here in the United States. In fact, there are several fantastic Gewurztraminers produced in New York's Finger Lakes, just a stone's throw from us here at WineMadeEasy.com.
