C<\/span>hat sets Gew\u00fcrztraminer apart from other whites has a lot to do with its telltale tasting note of lychee and roses. That floral, tropical aroma is unmistakable. In fact, those aromas make Gew\u00fcrztraminer one of the most recognizable aromatic wines in the world. Though Gew\u00fcrztraminer is originally from Germany, it might come as a surprise to budding wine lovers that France\u2019s Alsace region has made a gold star name for itself with this spicy<\/span>, floral grape. The French, using the grapes (and umlauts) of another country? Perish the thought! This makes a little more sense when you realize that Alsace is right on the German border. In fact, through several centuries and countless treaties and wars, Alsace has gone from being German to French and back again.<\/p>

And although Alsace is loved for its Gew\u00fcrztraminer, it\u2019s far from the only place that grows it. California, Australia, Italy, Romania, and (of course) Germany are just a few of the places that Gew\u00fcrztraminer has made itself popular among winemakers. Many Alsatians speak a dialect of their own, making the region a bit French.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It\u2019s pretty common to find this grape made with carbonic maceration (thus, the \u201cbanana\u201d flavor in some wines), which helps reduce some of the herbaceous-ness. Still, there\u2019s something about this grape (and the island) that\u2019s other-worldly. Flavors seem to balance between overly fruity and seriously earthy. It\u2019s no wonder that this wine pops up in \u201cin the know\u201d NYC wine bars. Xinomavro really reminds us of Barolo when done right, but with a slight savory quality that brings up visions of aged Tempranillo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
