Traminette is a relatively new grape variety, being bred in 1965 at the University of Illinois. It is a hybrid grape of Gewurztraminer and Joannes Seyve. Traminette is often described as a winter-hardy adaptation of Gewurztraminer, but lacking the strong perfume qualities. Traminette wines can be dry or slightly dry, but generally spicy and floral. Traminette is a hearty variety, able to withstand cold climates of the inland regions of the United States and where vines usually struggle to grow, such as New York, Virginia, and Indiana.

Ruby red with soft purplish reflections. Rich and complex on the nose, very reminiscent of small fruits of brambles, black cherry and a very delicate hint of softwood. On the palate it is decisive, complex and extraordinarily persistent.
Review:
Complex aromas of ripe fruit, toffee, cedar and smoke. Medium body, round and creamy tannins and a fresh, juicy finish.
