About Traminette

Traminette resulted from the cross of Joannes Seyve and Gewuerztraminer in 1965.  Fruit were first observed in 1971 at Cornell University and the original vine was propagated in 1974.  The vine was initially described as a vigorous and productive green grape with moderately loose clusters.  This late-to mid-season white wine grape has character similar to Gewuerztraminer.

Much more winter hardy than Gewuerztraminer, Traminette is suitable for cool climates and matures early to mid-October.  In warmer areas, increased bitterness and a high pH can become a problem. Bearing large clusters, the grape has good yields in the vineyard and delivers excellent fruit quality. It also has good disease resistence to powdery mildew, black rot and Botrytis.

Aging well, wine produced from this grape develops honey and apricot flavors in two to five years. Traminette has an elegant fruity floral aroma with a wonderful spicy flavor making it pair great with Asian, poultry and seafood dishes.
