In Rheinhessen, 225 ha* (1%) are currently planted with Gew\u00fcrztraminer. This figure has remained relatively constant in recent decades. This can be seen from the fact that – when a vineyard with Gew\u00fcrztraminer grapes is uprooted – another vineyard with this grape variety is always replanted. This is also the case in Harxheim: in 2001, 1.2 ha* (1.5%) were planted with Gew\u00fcrztraminer, in 2021 1.3 ha* (1.6%).

It probably originated in southeastern Europe, possibly also in Egypt. The eponym could be the wine village of Tramin in South Tyrol. What is certain, however, is that the South Tyrolean already in the 15th century supplied wines from this grape variety as mass wine to the monasteries there. Old documents prove that in Germany already in the 16th century the cultivation of Gew\u00fcrztraminer was recommended. In the Palatinate region, there is still a 400-year-old vineyard planted with Gew\u00fcrztraminer vines. If we compare the yields of this grape variety over several years, we find that, on average, less than the maximum permitted yield is achieved. The low yields indicate that Gew\u00fcrztraminer is a very high quality grape variety.

It has a very thick berry skin. Wines from the Gew\u00fcrztraminer grape have a relatively mild acidity. The grape is capable of achieving high must weights even in difficult vintages. Gew\u00fcrztraminer wines have a straw to golden yellow color. Depending on how they are aged, they are characterized by a subtle to broad fragrance that reminds the connoisseur of roses in bloom.

The Gew\u00fcrztraminer is a versatile food companion, if it is dry or semi-dry, to poultry with spicy sauces and ragouts, but also to game pies or snails. Noble sweet wines are very popular as aperitifs and are often served with chocolate or marzipan desserts. Wine connoisseurs also like to drink Gew\u00fcrztraminer with a high-fat blue cheese or Munster cheese.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”11px” min_height=”10.8px” custom_margin=”||8px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]References:<\/strong>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”9px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n German Wine Institute, White Grape Varieties, 2023 Gew\u00fcrztraminer, https:\/\/www.deutscheweine.de\/wissen\/rebsorten\/weisse-rebsorten\/gewuerztraminer\/<\/a><\/p>\n Wikipedia Gew\u00fcrztraminer 2023, https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gew\u00fcztraminer<\/a><\/p>\nHistory<\/h4>\n
