About Frontenac

Frontenac was developed in 1996 by the University of Minnesota as part of a breeding program aimed at creating grapes suitable for northern climates. It thrives well in northern U.S. states and parts of Canada.

It is used in a range of wine styles, including dry reds, rosés, and dessert wines like ice wine.

The wines are known for bold fruit flavours, high acidity, and an appealing structure.
