Frontenac

Frontenac Wine Details
Price:

Description: The Frontenac Grape, which was developed by the University of Minnesota, is well known for its full bodied red wines. A deep garnet color and very intense cherry and plum aromas allow for this dry red wine to quickly become a favorite for those who prefer red wines. This dry red wine is aged with oak and is best served at room temperature.

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.
