Our newest varietal, the Frontenac grape was developed at the University of Minnesota to survive the extremes of the Minnesota climate. We make a big, robust style of wine from this hardy grape, loaded with black berry fruit and a deep, richly pigmented color (a real tooth-stainer!). The wine is aged in 60% new oak barrels in order to give the wine a smoky, earthy balance to its intensity of fruit. We use a majority of Minnesota grown oak, staves produced from trees grown in Houston County south of Winona, then sent to California to be coopered into barrels by a French company.
For the first time, we will not have to bury our vines to get them through the winter. The Frontenac has been recorded as surviving -35 degrees below zero! This is a promising new wine for our future.
