Traminette

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Traminette is a white wine variety .

It is a new breed between Johannes Seyve 23.416 and the Gewürztraminer. Due to the descent from the Johannes Seyve 23.416 variety, it is a hybrid grape . The crossing took place in 1965 by Herb C. Barrett at the University of Illinois , USA. His breeding goal was to obtain a table grape with large grapes and the spicy taste of the Gewürztraminer. It was then in 1968 at Cornell University in Geneva (at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station , so the vine plant breeding institute in the state of New York developed) and finally released in 1996 for cultivation. It is the fifth new variety that Cornell has successfully brought onto the market.

The early-ripening variety produces spicy wines that are similar to that of the Gewürztraminer. It has a moderate resistance to fungal diseases such as powdery mildew and downy mildew , but it is very hardy and can therefore be used in growing areas with severe winter frosts. For example, it is found in the northeast of the USA in the states of New York (→ Viticulture in New York ), New Jersey (→ Viticulture in New Jersey ), Ohio (→ Viticulture in Ohio ), Virginia (→ Viticulture in Virginia ) and Pennsylvania (→ Viticulture in Pennsylvania ) and also used as a table grape. The first experimental plantings in Canada were established.
