Traminette is a hybrid of Gewürztraminer and table grapes and this wine is an excellent example of its type. Surprisingly elegant, it shares some of the spicy rose-petal aromatics of its Alsatian parent but none of the heaviness. The 11g/l residual sugar is balanced by 7g/l acidity, resulting in a slightly off-dry but refreshing medium-bodied wine with a clean, lingering finish.
