Traminette Grape Vine
Description
A spicy, sweet wine grape. This Gewurztraminer hybrid produces generous hanging clusters of beautiful amber grapes. Vintners love this grape for its low acidity which produces a smooth, lingering aftertaste. You’ll make quality, spicy wines with good sugar and acid balance. Vines are disease-resistant and hardy to -15º F. Ripens in late September. Self-pollinating. A licensed variety of Cornell University.

My Hardiness Zone
?
The USDA hardiness zones offer a guide to varieties that will grow well in certain climates. Each zone corresponds to the minimum winter temperatures experienced in a given area. Make sure that your hardiness zone lies within the zone compatibility range of this variety before ordering.
Pollination
This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You'll get fruit with only one plant!

Very tasty
It isn't as vigorous a grower as concord seedless or reliance seedless and lags behind a few weeks in sprouting and flowering. Mine will take a full 4 years to reach 4 fully grown cordons. While concord seedless and reliance took 3 years.
The grape itself is very good with the spicy flavor of gewurztraminer. Didn't have enough for wine last year but I should have enough for a gallon or 3 this 3rd year.

Not disease resistant in SE Missouri.
Arrived in good condition with 2 other grapes that did fine. It apparently caught a fungus and damped off within 3 weeks. It is probably a fine grape for sewhere else.
