Frontenac is a dark-skinned, hybrid French-American grape variety, the result of a cross between Landot Noir, and a Minnesota native Vitis riparia vine noted for its resistance to the extremely cold winters. Frontenac wines have a deep garnet color, with cherry aromas. Secondary characteristics of blackcurrant, plum and sometimes chocolate have also been identified.  Aged on heavy toasted French Oak this wine has a delightful full body finish.
