Description

Stunning peach-pink wine. Frontenac Gris is a bud mutation of the deep purple Frontenac, with all of its outstanding characteristics except the dark skin. Winemakers generally cold-press these pinkish-gray grapes to make a very beautiful wine that has aromas of peach, apricot and tropical fruit. A versatile, balanced sugar-to-acid grape which can be used for both sweet and dry wines; comparable to Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. Semi-trailing vines are very vigorous, with strong disease-resistance. Cold-hardy to -30ºF. Developed by the University of Minnesota and introduced in 2003. Ripens in early September. Self-pollinating. May be covered by USPP #16,478 or other patents. ‘MN1187’ cultivar.
