Grape variety Traminer /
Savagnin Blanc

Traminer, known in France as Savagnin Blanc, is a white aromatic grape variety characterised by its intense aromas. Floral aromas of flowers, spices and fruity notes create a complex and sometimes almost disturbingly dense aroma and flavour. Rose, lychee and peach flavours are particularly typical. Traminers are light to golden yellow in colour and usually deliver on the palate what the nose promises, namely full-bodied and aromatic intensity. This is why they are often recommended as dessert wines or as an accompaniment to particularly flavoursome dishes. They often have a low acidity and a high alcohol content, which gives them a certain warmth but also a sluggishness. The grape variety is known in many countries around the world, including Germany, France, Italy, Austria and the USA. The somewhat darker Gewürztraminer plays a special role; although its genetics are almost identical, its flavour is even more extreme with dense rose and lychee aromas.
