Würzer is a modern German white grape developed in 1932 at Alzey by crossing Gewürztraminer and Müller-Thurgau. Its name derives from the German word for “spice” — a nod to the grape’s aromatic heritage.
Typically planted in Rheinhessen, Würzer also flourishes in small vineyards across southern England and New Zealand. The wines from Würzer are highly aromatic, often displaying fragrant notes of freesia, elderflower, lime, and citrus, sometimes veering into “grapey” or tropical impressions reminiscent of Muscat. Cooler climates tend to yield crisper, drier styles, while warmer conditions may produce richer, semi‑sweet expressions.
For UK wine lovers, Würzer offers a charming alternative—in glass and on the table. Try it with roasted poultry, herb‑accented salads, spicy tofu stir‑fries, or cheese and apricot‑based dishes, where its fragrance and versatility truly shine.
