Aromatic mutation of Savagnin Rose, itself already a color mutation of Savagnin Blanc (Heida or Pagan in Valais), Gewürztraminer takes its name from Gewürz = spice in German and from Traminer = Savagnin in Germany. First observed in 1827 in the Rheingau (D), this mutation has been multiplied and propagated throughout the world. Early, adapted to cool climates, Gewürztraminer is little cultivated in Switzerland, where it gives rich wines, with powerful aromas of rose petal and lychee.
