Bolfan Traminac - Organic

Traminac is the same grape that is known in Germany under the name Gewürztraminer. Due to the amount of residual sugar it is a lightly sweet wine that is excellent for accompanying Asian dishes, and is also suitable for various desserts and as well as drinks for people who are not fond of dry wine. The wine is made in the style of Alsace wines and can therefore absolutely compete with the top wines from Alsace.

Special recommendation: In January 2019 the wine got a special recommendation by the famous Dutch wine writer Hubrecht Duijker. He wrote about this: It is a pretty sweet wine (over 26 grams of sugar per liter) with the sultry spice and some honey-like fruit characteristic of his grape. Just like Gewurztraminer from Alsace you can combine it with, for example, red cheese, and with Asian dishes.
