The berries carry the floral, spicy character associated with their ‘Gewürztraminer’ parent, with notes often reminiscent of lychee, tropical fruit, and fragrant flowers. The vines are well suited to trellises, arbors, and other sturdy supports, where their lush growth creates an attractive edible landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeveloped through Cornell’s grape breeding program in New York, ‘Traminette’ was bred to combine the distinctive flavor of ‘Gewürztraminer’ with the productivity, disease resistance, and cold hardiness of American and French-American hybrid grapes. Released in 1996, it has become especially valued as a cool-climate wine grape, but its vigorous growth and fragrant fruit also make it an intriguing choice for home vineyards and edible gardens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCultural \u0026amp; Culinary Significance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Traminette’ has a distinctly American viticultural story, born from a cross made in 1965 and later developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. Its aromatic fruit was originally bred with the goal of capturing the celebrated flavor of ‘Gewürztraminer’ while improving adaptability for shorter growing seasons and colder climates. Today, ‘Traminette’ is particularly associated with American wine regions across the Midwest and Northeast and has become the signature white wine grape of Indiana. Its intensely aromatic wines are commonly made in a semi-dry to off-dry style and are prized for floral, spicy, and fruit-forward character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Grow Traminette Grape?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHighly aromatic fruit:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Produces fragrant white grapes with floral, spicy, and tropical notes.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent wine grape:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Particularly prized for distinctive varietal wines with strong Gewürztraminer-like character.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProductive vine:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Known for good yields and vigorous growth once established.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCold hardy:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e More cold hardy than its Gewürztraminer parent, making it useful for gardeners in cooler growing regions.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDisease resistance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Offers partial resistance to several fungal diseases, giving it an advantage in humid and disease-prone growing conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sow Exotic","offers":[{"title":"Small Peat Pots (2 Pack)","offer_id":46909028794566,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium Coconut Coir Pot","offer_id":46909028827334,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2858\/6430\/files\/Traminette.png?v=1786407539","url":"https:\/\/sowexotic.com\/products\/grape-traminette-vitis","provider":"Sow Exotic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
