Traminette

Traminette is a French-American hybrid closely related to Gewürztraminer.

Traminette is a cross between the French-American hybrid Joannes Seyve and the German Vitis vinifera Gewürztraminer.

The cross was done by Herb C. Barrett in 1965 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His intention was to produce a table grape with the flavor of Gewürztraminer. But, Traminette was found to have excellent wine quality, resistance to fungal diseases, and cold hardiness.
