Here at M Cellars we are excited to introduce a brand new varietal in our portfolio – Traminette!
Traminette is an aromatic white wine grape varietal that was first introduced in the United States in the late 20th century. It is a hybrid of the Gewürztraminer grape and the French-American hybrid grape, Joannes Seyve. Traminette inherits the intense floral and spicy characteristics of its Gewürztraminer parent, making it a standout varietal in terms of aroma and flavor.
Traminette grapes thrive in cool and moderate climate regions, particularly in the eastern parts of the United States. One of the advantages of Traminette is its ability to ripen early, which means it can be harvested before the risk of frost, and it is a varietal that is naturally resistant to fungal diseases. Both of these make it a great choice for a reliable and quality grape.
One of the key features of Traminette is its powerful and captivating fragrance. Our wine exudes a bouquet of exotic aromas such as roses, lychee, honeysuckle, and tropical fruits. These intense floral notes contribute to the distinct personality of the varietal.
Our Traminette is a medium-bodied wine with a rich, fruity flavor profile. Its palate showcases flavors of tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and apricot, along with hints of citrus and spice. The balance between the fruitiness and the spiciness of Traminette creates a unique and harmonious experience.
Traminette wines are incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. Their aromatic and flavorful nature pairs well with a wide range of cuisines, including Asian dishes, spicy foods, poultry, seafood, and soft cheeses. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a delicious meal, Traminette is a varietal that delivers a memorable and enjoyable wine experience for both wine enthusiasts and casual drinkers.
