Traminette

Traminette Wine Details
Price: $12.00 per bottle

Description: Silver Decoy Traminette emphasizes the fruit-forward qualities of the exciting new variety. Traminette's German lineage to Gewurztraminer is evident with floral apricot aromas and subtle spices. Our fresh off-dry style is perfect as an aperitif and also can be enjoyed with poultry or Asian fare. Winner - 2005 NJ Wine Competition - Bronze Medal

Varietal Definition
Traminette:
'Traminette' is a late mid-season white wine grape which produces wine with pronounced varietal character likened to one of its parents, 'Gewürztraminer'. 'Traminette' is distinguished by its superior wine quality combined with good productivity, partial resistance to several fungal diseases, and cold hardiness superior to its acclaimed parent, 'Gewürztraminer'.
Traminer:
Parent grape of the popular Gewurztraminer clone. Still grown in France and in California but almost everywhere has been replaced by its much more intense and spicy offspring clone.
