Frontenac

Frontenac Wine Details
Price:

Description: We allow the Frontenac to ferment warm, with additional ML ferment to soften the acids. Although we've produced some in steel alone, we prefer to oak this wine to give it smoothness and a touch of vanilla. This wine is made fully dry or just off dry.

Varietal Definition
Frontenac:
Frontenac’s overall viticultural performance and excellent wine quality are directly responsible for its success in Minnesota, where more of its vines are growing than any other variety. This recently released red wine grape from the University of Minnesota is a cross of Landot 4511 and Vitis Riparia. The vine’s chief advantage is its extremely vigorous and productive nature.
