Description

A Distinctive Michigan White from Fenn Valley Vineyards

Crafted on the scenic Lake Michigan Lakeshore in Fennville, Michigan, Fenn Valley’s Dry Traminette is a fresh, aromatic white wine that perfectly expresses the potential of cool-climate viticulture. Traminette, a hybrid grape developed at Cornell University, is a cross between the flavorful Gewürztraminer and a disease-resistant American variety—resulting in a wine that is both expressive and resilient.

Our Dry Traminette is medium-bodied and completely dry, showcasing a beautifully aromatic profile. The nose bursts with tropical fruit and floral character, while the palate reveals layered flavors of apricot, mango, and grapefruit. The finish is clean and refreshing, accented by a light spice and floral note that adds elegance and intrigue.

Grown in the sandy, well-drained soils near Lake Michigan, the grapes benefit from the cool maritime breezes and moderated temperatures that define the Lake Michigan Shore AVA. These growing conditions help preserve the vibrant acidity and delicate aromas that make this wine so food-friendly.

Perfect Pairings:

Dry Traminette is a versatile white wine, ideal with spicy cuisines like Thai or Indian, seafood dishes, fresh salads, and soft cheeses. Its bold aromatics and crisp structure also make it a delightful sipping wine on its own.
