Gewürztraminer



(which translates into spiced or perfumed traminer) is a pink skinned grape that is greatly aromatic.  A full-bodied white it shows loads of exotic aromas, lychee, white flowers, mandarin, and if it is from certain area you might find a taste of bacon fat. 
Studies have shown that there is a cross between Pinot and Traminer in relation to Gewürztraminer.  It is thought that Pinot is the parent of Traminer and that both these varietals mutate easily, thus eventually resulting in Gewürztraminer.
