Information

Gewürztraminer is a white wine from Canada, particularly from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. It has a pale golden color and a rich, aromatic taste. This wine features aromas of lychee, rose petals, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with flavors of tropical fruit, honey, and a smooth, sweet finish. Gewürztraminer pairs perfectly with spicy dishes, rich cheeses, and fruit-based desserts. Its intense aroma and sweetness make it ideal for special occasions.

Fun facts

Gewürztraminer’s naturally high sugar content makes it ideal for producing semi-sweet wines. In Canada, cool nights and a long growing season preserve the grape’s acidity, ensuring that even the sweetest styles remain vibrant and balanced.
