Gewurztraminer is a wonderfully aromatic grape variety that hails from the Alsace region, though it’s grown in select cooler climates elsewhere too. It’s best known for its rich, expressive character, with typical aromas such as lychee, rose petals, ginger and hints of spice. On the palate you’ll often find a fuller body and a naturally fragrant profile, sometimes with a touch of sweetness, depending on how the wine is made and the ripeness of the grapes.

This grape tends to shine with dishes that can handle its intensity. Think Asian cuisine, fragrant curries, roast poultry with herbs, or dishes featuring ginger and honey. It also pairs nicely with softer cheeses when the wine is particularly aromatic.

One of the joys of exploring Gewurztraminer is the range of styles you may come across, from off-dry to more balanced, depending on the producer. If you enjoy wines with standout aromas and a little personality in every glass, it’s a variety worth seeking out. Browse the range and you’ll find plenty of options to match different tastes and occasions.
