Frontenac (grape)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frontenac is a French-American hybrid grapevine that is a result of research and cross-breeding by the University of Minnesota. First released in 1996, the vines produce loose clusters of dark and highly acidic berries. Typically used to make red wines, Frontenac is highly resistant to both cold and disease. The variety is now the most commonly planted wine grape in Minnesota.[1]
