Gewurztraminer
The most easily recognisable grape of them all, with its heady, almost overwhelming bouquet of lychees, spice and rose petals. It performs best in cooler climates, so it can retain the little acidity that it does have. Alsace probably produces its finest examples, although it is also grown in Germany, northern Italy, eastern Europe and, in small amounts, in the New World. Dry wines are the norm, but many are so rich as to give the impression of sweetness.
