FRONTENAC GRIS


Frontenac gris, the white wine version of Frontenac, started as a single bud mutation yielding gray (thus named gris) fruit and amber-colored juice.  The vine exhibits the same optimum growth characteristics as Frontenac, and requires the same cultural practices.  Arching canes and minimal tendrils provide easy training and pruning to simplify vine management.  Frontenac and Frontenac gris ripen in late mid-season, and are good sugar producers with 24-25 brix not uncommon.
 
 

Wine Profile

Frontenac gris wines present aromas of peach and apricot with hints of enticing citrus and tropical fruit.  A  brilliant balance of fruit and acidity creates lively, refreshing wines.  Unique and complex flavors make this an excellent grape for table, dessert, and ice wines.
