Gewurztraminer
This grape variety is noted for it floral
fragrance and its spicy flavors. It is grown most successfully in
France (especially
Alsace), the United States (California, Oregon, Washington), Germany
and New Zealand.
It does better in cool climates that in warm ones.
It is often paired with spicy foods and can
be made in styles that range from completely dry to semi-dry. Gewurztraminer
can also be made in a late harvest dessert wine style that is delicious.
This is especially true in Alsace.
