ST. JULIAN INTERSECT

Traminette, a modern hybrid white grape developed by crossing Gewurztraminer with a hybrid parent, brings an aromatic profile similar to Gewurztraminer but with better disease resistance and adaptability for cooler climates. As Indiana named it its state signature wine grape, Traminette is particularly important in regions like New York, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania where growers need varieties suited to local conditions. With a range of flavors including rose, lychee, orange blossom, apricot, peach, ginger, and baking spice, Traminette offers versatility whether dry or off-dry, still or sparkling. Its educational value as a hybrid grape makes it an interesting choice for those interested in the history and development of local wine cultures. Pair with spicy Asian dishes, glazed pork, aromatic curries, soft cheeses, fruit-based salads, and lightly sweet desserts. Dry versions can serve as aperitifs, while off-dry versions handle chile heat and ginger exceptionally well. Enjoy it chilled for best freshness, aroma, and balance.
