Etymology
The German name Gewürztraminer literally means "Spice Traminer" or "Perfumed Traminer", and is attested in Germany from the 16th century. This grape variety is a mutation of the
Savagnin blanc, also named
Traminer in

History

The history of the
Traminer family is complicated, and not helped by its rather unstable
genome

. The famous
ampelographer Pierre Galet thought that Traminer was identical to the green-skinned Savagnin blanc (not Sauvignon blanc) that makes
vin jaune in the Jura. More recently it has been suggested that Savagnin blanc acquired slight differences in its leaf shape and
geraniol content as it travelled to the other end of the Alps.
Frankisch in Austria, Gringet in Savoie, Heida in Switzerland, Formentin in Hungary and Grumin from Bohemia are all very similar to Savagnin blanc and probably represent clones of the Traminer family, if not Traminer itself. The
Viognier of the Rhone Valley may be a more distant relative of Savagnin blanc.
At some point, either Traminer or Savagnin blanc mutated into a form with pink-skinned berries, called Red Traminer or Savagnin rose. Galet believed that a
musqué ('muscat-like') mutation in the Red Traminer/Savagnin rose then led to the extra-aromatic Gewürztraminer, although in Germany these names are all regarded as synonymous.
With these convoluted genetics happening in the area that has been the front line for a millennium of wars in Europe, it is maybe not surprising that vines have been misnamed. Given that the wine made from 'Gewürztraminer' in Germany can be much less aromatic than that in Alsace, some of the German vines may well be misidentified Savagnin Rose. The Baden vineyard of Durbach claims its own type of Red Traminer called Durbacher Clevner (not to be confused with "Klevner", an Austrian synonym for
Pinot blanc). The story goes that in 1780
Karl Friedrich, Grand Duke of Baden brought vines from
Chiavenna in Italy, halfway between Tramin and the Jura, which was known to the Germans as Cleven.

epidemic. More likely, an existing mutant was selected for grafting onto phylloxera-resistant rootstocks when the vineyards were replanted. In 1973 the name Traminer was discontinued in Alsace except for in the Heiligenstein area.
Crosses

The Germans have tried hard to breed the flavours of Gewürztraminer into vines that are easier to grow. In 1932,
Georg Scheu crossed Gewürztraminer with
Müller-Thurgau to produce
Würzer, a little of which is grown in
Rheinhessen and in England. Similar crosses at Alzey and Würzburg respectively have produced
Septimer and the reasonably successful
Perle. The early-ripening
Siegerrebe is the result of a cross with
Madeleine Angevine at Alzey and is notable for producing the highest ever must weight recorded in Germany, 326 °
Oechsle.
[ Jancis Robinson ''Vines, Grapes & Wine'' pg 253 Octopus Publishing 1986 ] A cross between Müller-Thurgau and Siegerrebe produced
Ortega.

Pinot gris. Brown Bros blend it with Orange Muscat in Australia.
In 1965, Gewürztraminer was crossed with
Joannes Seyve 23.416 at the University of Illinois to produce a hybrid variety called
Traminette. Traminette is more cold-tolerant than the original, while maintaining most of the desirable taste and aroma characteristics.

A.J. Antcliff crossed Gewürztraminer with
Merbein 29-56 to create the white grape variety

As mentioned above, around Heiligenstein there is a grape known as Klevener de Heiligenstein, which is a Red Traminer (Savagnin Rose) and not a true Gewürz; the
Heiligenstein wines are certainly more restrained than other Gewurztraminers d'Alsace.
Germany
Germany has about 10 square kilometres of the variety, but it is very different from that of their neighbours across the Rhine. As suggested above much of their "Gewürztraminer" is probably Red Traminer. The Germans go for a relatively dry style, that tries to subdue the natural flamboyance of the grape.

in northeastern Italy. Whether the Gewürz- mutant originated there or not is an open question, but it is certainly grown there today. What is certain is that the name "Traminer" derives from the town of
Tramin. Confusingly, both pink and green grapes may be called simply Traminer.
Luxembourg
Luxembourg has also been prominent in the production of wines with Gewürztraminer grapes.

Vine and viticulture
Gewürztraminer is especially sensitive to both soil and climate. The vine grows vigorously, but it does not do well in chalky soils and is very susceptible to disease. It buds early, so is very susceptible to frost, needs dry and warm summers, and ripens erratically and late. Its natural sweetness means that in hot climates it does not have enough acidity to balance the huge amounts of sugar, and picking early to retain the acidity means that the varietal aromas do not develop. These aromas may be further diluted by overcropping in an attempt to overcome the low yields.
Synonyms
Genetic instability means that the Traminers should be regarded as a family of related clones, rather than distinct varieties. Thus DNA analysis will probably reveal that the following names are not synonymous. It gets even worse when it comes to Gewürztraminer, as Geilweilerhof, being Germans, see no difference between it and Red Traminer – and some of the names look like they belong to the original green-skinned Traminer/Savagnin blanc.
