Wine Guide - Gewurztraminer Wine - Carousel Card Item

<h4>A somewhat ignored grape, perhaps thanks to its difficult name, gewürztraminer nonetheless offers a complex and rewarding white wine experience. A native of France’s Alsace region, a recent resurgence is being driven by an unlikely source – Australian vintners.</h4><p>What’s in a name? For gewürztraminer, a grape that finds itself forever at the periphery of the wine world, it could be argued quite a bit. There’s something decidedly sensual and melodic about the French language. This fact sees grapes that are native to France enjoying a level of appellation appeal – albeit one that’s notoriously difficult to quantify. With names like pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and merlot, French grapes bring a level of desirability, sophistication and legitimacy to their namesake wines. And then there’s German. A somewhat more abrasive language – to put it politely – German doesn’t quite offer the same level of marketability as French. And it could be for this reason that gewürztraminer (pronounced <i>gur-vertz-tra-meaner</i>) has never been given quite the attention it deserves, despite being one of the 18 noble grapes. But thanks to a very Australian rebrand, the fortunes of this sweet and aromatic white could be about to change.
