Frontenac

Frontenac Reserve Wine Details
Price: $18.95 per bottle

Description: 100% Frontenac grapes from our own vineyard. The grapes were harvested late season for flavor and high sugar content. This dry Reserve is oaked in our Minnesota oak barrels for complexity and tannins. Excellent aging potential.

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.
