Vivino Review: Gewurztraminer is a pink wine grape producing distinct whites, rich in aroma and flowery perfume and with a wonderful deep color.
The flavor associations of lychee, gingerbread, vanilla, grapefruit, rose
petals and honeysuckle come out of this varietal. Gewurztraminer origins from Alsace, but today
it is grown in countries such as Italy, Spain, Austria and even Chile. The name
stems from the village Traminer in the North Italian Alto Adige, and the German word ‘Gewürz´ for spice.
My Review: This wine is very florally on the nose
with a hint of apricot. The color of
this wine is very pale yellow. I served
this wine chilled and it was very refreshing! This is a medium-light bodied
sweet white wine with low acidity. I
tasted the wonderful flavors of apricot, peach and vanilla. I paired this wine, with SPAM, as recommended
in the film “Somm: Into the Bottle’. It
was an excellent pairing as the sweet fruit flavors of the wine gave the SPAM a
wonderful sweetness and reduced the saltiness of this delicious mystery meat. I
would highly recommend this wine to all SPAM fans!
