+ enantiomer of cis-rose oxide (2D)

The German name Gewürztraminer literally means 'spice Traminer' or 'perfumed Traminer', 1st established in Germany in the 16th century. This grape variety is a mutation of the Savagnin blanc (NOT Sauvignon Blanc) known in German as the Traminer, from Tramin, the name of a village in South Tyrol.

- enantiomer of cis-rose oxide (2D)

A ratio around 70:30 (favouring the − (2S,4R)-rose oxide enantiomer) is linked to the classic lychee aromas of Gewürztraminer wines. It is indeed the same chemical responsible for the predominant aroma and taste of lychees!

- enantiomer of cis-rose oxide (3D)

Gewürztraminer wines have the highest concentrations of a chemical called cis-rose oxide, often showing a higher percentage of the (−)-cis isomer, which is crucial for the characteristic lychee-like aroma of this wine varietal.
