Tissot Arbois Savagnin Ouillé ‘Traminer’ 2020

Savagnin, simply referred to as Traminer in Austria and Germany, also known as "white traminer" and vastly different in flavour and colour from the pink traminer, or gewürztraminer, is an ancient grape variety with a history spanning thousands of years. Stephane Tissot matures this wine in older barrels, employing techniques similar to those used for chardonnay. The result is a wine of formidable strength and textural intricacy; it boasts notes of dough, hay, and a hint of salinity, all complemented by a satisfying "chewiness," along with remarkable density and length. Its acidity, opulence, and depth contribute to its potent character.
