Winemaker Notes

Produced in an off-dry style with exotic aromas and flavors of lychee, rose petal, passion fruit and ginger.

Gewürztraminer’s sweetness may offset the spice in Asian cuisine. It goes well with cheese, and fleshy, fatty (oily) wild game. Smoked salmon is a particularly good match.

Wine Enthusiast

While the nose is a touch savory, accented by hints of nut and earth, a bounty of luscious, fruity exuberance awaits on the palate of this off-dry Gewürztraminer. Layers of honey and nectar lend an unctuousness to fresh yellow peach and citrus flavors. The finish lingers with a swirl of sweet caramel.

Gewürztraminer Wine

View all products

Gewürztraminer, an expressive and aromatically distinctive white grape variety, is considered a noble variety in the Alsace region of France, and produces wonderful wines in the mountainous Alto Adige region of NE Italy. Generally this grape grows well in cooler regions and its natural intensity makes it a great ally for flavorful cuisine such as Indian, Middle Eastern or Moroccan. Somm Secret—Because of a charming perfume and tendency towards slight sweetness, Gewürztraminer makes for an excellent gateway wine for those who love sweet wines but want to venture into the realm of drier whites.
