Traminer wine — whether labelled Gewurztraminer, Roter Traminer or simply Traminer — is one of the most recognisable whites in Europe: high in perfume, low in acidity, and deeply tied to the cool hillside sites where it performs best. The producers below grow it across Alsace, Trentino-South Tyrol, Steiermark and beyond.

Traminer is believed to take its name from the village of Tramin — Termeno in Italian — in South Tyrol, which puts its probable origin in the Alpine foothills along what is now the border between Austria and Italy. From there it spread north into Alsace, where it mutated into the pink-skinned Gewurztraminer, and south and east through Austria and the Czech Republic. The grape is unusually expressive: even modest examples carry a distinct aromatic signature of rose, lychee and baking spice. On Free Grape Society, each bottle is shipped directly from the grower's cellar, with no importer or warehouse in between.

A Traminer wine case is the producer's own selection — six bottles chosen as the recommendation they would make if you visited in person. With an aromatic variety like Traminer, that often means following one estate across a dry still wine, a late-harvest style and sometimes a sparkling interpretation, letting the same grape show what changes when the winemaker decides to pick early or leave the bunches on the vine into autumn. Free Grape Society is a society of producers, independent experts and wine lovers, not a shop.
The growers below work with Traminer in very different climates — some in the high-altitude vineyards of Trentino-South Tyrol, others on the warm loess soils of Alsace or the volcanic slopes of Steiermark. Reading a producer's own notes is often the quickest way to understand why their Traminer tastes the way it does, and the wine-advice service is there if you would rather talk through the differences before choosing.
Traminer's aromatic intensity makes it one of the more debated grapes among wine professionals, which means independent reviews add real value here. Wine experts on Free Grape Society review wines they have personally tasted, and their assessments are visible on each wine page and on the expert's own profile. Several of the experts listed here have reviewed Traminer wines featured on this page, so you can read what they found before deciding.
Find a bottle on this page, add it to your basket and check out. Your order goes directly to the producer who made it — they pack and ship from their own cellar. Free shipping is included, and you can pay securely with Klarna or card. Delivery typically takes between four and fourteen days, depending on where the producer is based.
Send a photo to Free Grape Society customer support within 7 days of delivery. We will arrange a replacement or a refund. Because producers ship directly, quality issues are handled with the producer's direct involvement. Shared responsibility is built into how FGS works.
Yes. You can add bottles from different producers to the same basket. Each producer ships their own wines separately, so you may receive more than one delivery. Each shipment is free, and you will get tracking information for each one.
Average delivery is 8 to 9 days from order to door. The full range is 4 to 14 days depending on the producer's location and your delivery address. Wines ship directly from the producer's cellar, not from a central warehouse.
Look at the wine's own description and, where available, the producer's tasting notes and any expert reviews on the wine page. Dry Traminer tends to be labelled as such or described as 'trocken' or 'sec'; late-harvest and vendange tardive styles will say so explicitly. If you are unsure which direction suits you, use the wine-advice form to ask an independent expert — it is free and there is no obligation to buy.
The producers you see here are independent growers who have joined Free Grape Society and listed their wines directly. Wines are tasted before listing by our Head of Product. The selection reflects who grows Traminer across Alsace, South Tyrol, Austria and other regions — it grows over time as more producers join the platform.
The independent wine experts listed on this page have reviewed Traminer wines and can help you find the right bottle. Use the wine-advice form to ask your question — describe what you are looking for, what you have enjoyed before, or what food you are pairing it with, and an expert will get back to you. The service is free.
Free Grape Society lists wines from independent producers who grow, make and bottle their own wine. Supermarket-brand wines are typically blended by large négociants or retailers and have no direct connection to a single estate or grower. The Traminer wines here come from specific producers in specific places — that traceability is the point.
Very likely yes. Most of the producers on Free Grape Society sell directly to private buyers for the first time through this platform — they previously worked only through local restaurants, cellar-door sales or small regional distributors. Traminer from a small estate in Steiermark or a family grower in Alsace is rarely on a high-street shelf.
Traminer is one of the oldest cultivated grape varieties in Europe, named after the village of Tramin in what is now Trentino-South Tyrol in northern Italy. It spread north and west through the Alps over centuries, taking root in Alsace, Germany, Austria, and further east across central Europe. At some point the variety developed a more intensely aromatic mutation — deeper in colour, richer in scent — which became known as Gewürztraminer, while the less perfumed form kept the name Traminer. Today the two names are used loosely and sometimes interchangeably depending on the region: in Alsace you will almost always see Gewürztraminer on the label; in Trentino-South Tyrol and parts of Austria, plain Traminer still appears and tends to be drier and more restrained than its aromatic sibling. The grape's long Alpine history means it appears in a wide range of styles, from still dry whites to late-harvest and dessert wines.
Traminer is known above all for its perfume: rose petal, lychee, and dried spice are the signature aromas, though the intensity varies considerably with the style and origin. Wines labelled Traminer rather than Gewürztraminer tend to be lighter and more restrained — lower in residual sugar, with higher natural acidity — while the Gewürztraminer end of the spectrum can be full, almost oily in texture, and richly perfumed. Both styles are naturally low in tannin, making them easy to match with food. Classic pairings include spiced dishes from South-East Asian cuisines, smoked fish, washed-rind cheeses, and charcuterie. The grape's natural sweetness and spice also make it a useful partner for moderately hot food where tannic reds would clash. Drier Traminer from the Alps suits the table well throughout a meal; richer, off-dry versions from Alsace or late-harvest styles from Austria work better as a wine to finish with, alongside cheese or a first course.
Traminer is a grape with strong regional identity: the producers who grow it are mostly small, estate-based growers in the Alpine foothills and their immediate neighbours, rather than large negociant houses. That makes the direct-trade model of Free Grape Society particularly well suited to it — the wines here come from growers who farm, vinify, and bottle their own fruit, and they ship directly from their own cellars to your door, with no importer or warehouse in between. Producers in Trentino-South Tyrol, Alsace, Austria, and Germany all have their own interpretation of the variety, and reading each producer's own notes is often the quickest way to understand whether their style is dry and mineral or rich and aromatic.
