Yellow color. Aromas and flavors of lychee, yellow pear, and mango with an soft, off-dry medium body and a compelling, medium-long finish displaying suggestions of peach cobbler, candied peach, and cat pea. Juicy, aromatic peach flavors plus lychee and tropical notes, with a touch of interesting cat box funk — an exuberant white for cocktail parties and a fun surprise pairing to a cheese course.

About
Traminette

The wines are medium-bodied with fragrant aromas of jasmine, orange blossom and lychee; they are made both dry or with a light touch of sweetness and are meant to be consumed young and fresh. There are also a few sparkling versions produced. Pair with scallops, Thai food or Asian cuisine.
