Gewurztraminer -- a tough word to pronounce but a very easy wine to drink. Gewurz is the German word for "Spicy" and "Traminer" is the actual grape type (like "Merlot."). Gewurztraminers are typically both spicy and sweet at the same time. The bouquet on this type of wine is like you've fallen nose first into a field of spring flowers.
The home of Gewurztraminer is the Alsace region of France. Alsace shares a border with Germany along the Rhine river. The area is very similar in terrain and climate to the German wine regions and the kind of wines produced in Alsace are a fascinating blend of both French and German winemaking methods and traditions.
This wine is powerful on the palate – your tongue will be hit with bursts of sugar and spice, oak and herbs. Gewurztraminer is perhaps the one white wine that can stand up to steaks. Recommend food parings are with Asian cuisine, especially Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Korean foods. We also recommend matching this wine with hot Mexican and Spanish dishes. O-U Certified.
