Straw color. Aromas and flavors of ripe lychee, white flowers, dried apricot, and peach with a round, soft, dryish medium body and a tingling, interesting, buoyant finish evoking accents of clover honey on dried apricot, white flowers, and lychee and cantaloupe with no oak flavor. Fruity and a touch sweet, this is a high quality Gewurztraminer substitute.

Traminette is an hybrid grape, a cross between a French-American hybrid Joannes Seyve and Gewurztraminer. The wine is produced in several states including Illinois, Virginia, Michigan and Maryland. The wines are medium-bodied with fragrant aromas of jasmine, orange blossom and lychee; they are made both dry or with a light touch of sweetness and are meant to be consumed young and fresh. There are also a few sparkling versions produced. Pair with scallops, Thai food or Asian cuisine.
