The short version
What is Gewürztraminer?
Gewürztraminer is most closely associated with Alsace, though its name points to the village of Tramin in northern Italy. Its pink skins can give the wine a deep golden hue.
Lychee, rose, peach, ginger, and allspice leap from the glass. Low-to-moderate acidity and a broad texture can make even dry examples feel slightly sweet.
