Overview

Traminette grapes on the vine

Traminette is a hybrid grape variety developed for use in winemaking. It is known for its distinctive floral aroma and is often used to produce white wine. Traminette was created by crossing the Gewürztraminer grape with the French-American hybrid Joannes Seyve 23.416.

History

The development of Traminette began in the late 20th century as part of a breeding program aimed at producing grape varieties that could thrive in the climate of the eastern United States. The goal was to create a grape with the aromatic qualities of Gewürztraminer but with improved disease resistance and cold hardiness.

Characteristics

Traminette grapes are known for their aromatic profile, which includes notes of lychee, rose, and spice. The wines produced from Traminette are typically medium-bodied with a balanced acidity, making them versatile for pairing with a variety of foods.

Viticulture

Traminette vines are moderately vigorous and can be grown in a range of climates. They are particularly well-suited to regions with cold winters, as they exhibit good cold hardiness. The grape clusters are medium-sized and compact, with berries that are resistant to common grape diseases such as powdery mildew and downy mildew.

Wine Production

Traminette is primarily used to produce white wines, which can range from dry to semi-sweet. The wines are often compared to those made from Gewürztraminer, sharing similar aromatic qualities but with a unique character of their own. Winemakers appreciate Traminette for its ability to retain acidity, which contributes to the wine's freshness and balance.
