Traminer is the parent of the more familiar Gewurztraminer and Spatlese is a German wine term meaning “late harvest,” indicating a wine made from fully mature grapes that are picked at least seven days after normal harvest, so they are riper and hae higher sugar levels. This is a gently golden-colored wine, unmistakable in its heady, aromatic intensity, with a pungent fragrance of lychee, tropical fruit and rose petals. Its flavors are ample, lusciously fruity and spicy.
