Róna

Róna Wine Details
Price: $13.95 per bottle

Description: This is a poetic term for the Alföld lands of Eastern Hungary where Anna grew up. Fermented at a cool 62 degrees, put through malo-lactic fermentation and left on the skins for five days, this wine represents one of many new quality expressions of dry red Frontenac in Minnesota. This is good with roasts or fatty beef and pork products to offset the slight tartness.

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.
