GRANDFATHER VINEYARD AND WINERY

For those looking for something unique in white wines, Grandfather Vineyard and Winery offers Traminette grapes, a modern hybrid with floral spice reminiscent of Gewurztraminer. While its exact origin is unknown, this grape has proven adaptable to cooler climates across the eastern and midwestern United States, including Indiana's signature status as the state wine grape. Expect aromas of rose, lychee, orange blossom, apricot, peach, ginger, and baking spice, with balance being key to achieving a harmonious taste profile that can be either dry or off-dry, depending on the producer’s style. Pair it thoughtfully with dishes like spicy Asian cuisine, glazed pork, aromatic curries, soft cheeses, fruit-based salads, and lightly sweet desserts.
