You do know that Traminer is another local name for Savagnin. So it has nothing to do with Gewurztraminer. I was also confused/surprised when I first had the wine and thought it was Gewurztraminer. But I liked it regardless.

Thanks for the interesting note. I've never encountered as Savagnin that was actually labeled as Traminer, though Dan and Rahsaan are both right - Savagnin and the non-spicy Traminer are indeed the same thing.
Confusingly, there are some wines from Alto Adige that are labeled as "Traminer", which are definitely Gewurztraminer, as opposed to Savagnin.

I don't see often AltoAdige wines labeled as Traminer...usually as GWT, Andrew. But they usually speak strongly of GWT when I do try them.
