Savagnin rose (French pronunciation: [savaɲɛ̃ ʁoz]) or Roter Traminer is a variety of wine grape.
[2][3] It has a different skin colour than Savagnin Blanc, and does not have the aromatic properties of the much more common Gewürztraminer, which is a musqué mutation of Savagnin rose, or of a similar red-skinned Traminer variety.
Savagnin rose is now relatively rare in cultivation, and primarily found only in pure plantation and varietal wines in Alsace, where the designation Klevener de Heiligenstein denotes a wine produced from Savagnin rose.
In 1973, the names Traminer and Savagnin rose were discontinued from use on Alsatian wine labels.
[4] For the Traminer family in general, it is difficult to establish where the line goes between synonyms and different varieties.
