Vine characteristics

Savagnin lineage

Plantgrape describes Gewurztraminer as the pink, aromatic mutation of Savagnin blanc. UC Davis FPS independently records Gewürztraminer with pink berries and lists Italy as its country of origin; the two references emphasize different aspects of its history.

Vigor, terroir and frost context

Plantgrape describes fairly high vigor, low productivity and sensitivity to coulure, a preference for marly terroirs, sensitivity to chlorosis, occasional spring-frost damage and good winter-frost resistance. These are reference observations, not site thresholds.

Regional research context

Plantgrape lists EU synonyms including Roter Traminer (Germany), Traminer (Austria) and Traminer aromatico (Italy). Naming records confirm identity, not performance at a new site.
