Gewürztraminer, sometimes referred to as Gewürz or Traminer, is a white wine grape variety that performs best in cooler climates. It is known for its spicy characteristics. The name literally means "Spice Traminer", and derives from the grape being a highly aromatic variant of its parent, simply called "Traminer".

The characteristic of the wine, rather than any specific spice, is that there is a strong smell of lychees on the bouquet. This characteristic aroma means that Gewürztraminer is classified as an aromatic wine grape. Dry Gewürztraminer also have aromas of roses, passion fruit and floral notes. As such until recently it used to be considered as one of the few wines that is suitable to be enjoyed with curry and other Asian foods. But it can be over-aromatic for many after the first glass (see matching wine with curry). The Gewürztraminer goes well with Munster cheese, and fleshy, fatty (oily) wild game.
