Traminer is a grape variety for which there are several theories of its origin. Some say it comes from Italy and the Tyrolean Alps, specifically the village of Tramin in the South Tyrol region, while others say the variety comes from Alsace in France. It is most often divided into two variations – red Traminer and fragrant Traminer. Red Traminer is named after the characteristic color of its berries, but it gives golden yellow and medium strong wines that most often belong to the category of semi-dry and semi-sweet wines. In contrast, the fragrant Traminer gives the wine a straw-yellow to golden-yellow color, which is permeated by intense aromas characteristic of Traminer, which is reminiscent of rose and marzipan. It mainly belongs to the category of semi-sweet or sweet wines. Both representatives of the variety grow in many continental vineyards of Europe, but despite this, Traminer does not occupy a large total area of ​​wine-growing areas. In our region, the cultivation of Traminer is recommended in the Danube region, Slavonia, Moslavina, Prigorje, Plešivica, Pokuplje and Zagorje and Međimurje, but in Croatia the Ilok one is especially well known. Due to its very intense and strong aroma, it will often not suit everyone who tastes it, and in addition, it is characterized by a high alcohol content and low acid levels, which is why its already characteristic sweetness is especially pronounced. Because of these characteristics, Traminer goes well with cheeses that have a certain proportion of noble mold, and will go well with river fish such as catfish and carp, fish stew and crabs. Wines made from this grape variety are also recommended with oriental cuisine, and are drunk well chilled.
