Cheers to one of the best wine grapes you can grow! The Frontenac Grape (Vitis riparia ‘Frontenac’) is a French/American hybrid developed to withstand the most frigid winters and come back ready to blossom and fruit unlike any other. These deep bluish violet grapes are a joy to look at and a pleasure to eat.

Frontenac Grapes fruit their hearts out. In late summer, this reliable producer becomes flocked with loads of heavier clusters that are easy to harvest and process. At first glance, you may mistake these grapes for bunches of blueberries–they’re so richly colored. But as soon as you pop one of these blue-black grapes in your mouth, you will understand why this variety is beloved among grape growers.

The Frontenac Grape isn’t just delicious fresh off the vine. They make amazing homemade wine! When pressed and processed, these grapes create a dry wine with hints of cherry black currant, plum, and chocolate. If you like sweet wines, roses, and ports, you will adore these juicy grapes.

Not only is the Frontenac Grape’s wine excellent, but it’s striking, as well. The juice from Frontenac Grapes is deep red to violet and will pair perfectly with chocolate desserts.

While many grape varieties suffer from powdery mildew and botrytis, this tenacious cultivar is a model for health, resisting these issues and standing strong in frigid winters.

With high sugar and acid levels, the University of Minnesota outdid themselves when creating this superior grape variety. Don’t miss your chance to sink your teeth into these sweet grapes and fully dive into winemaking. Frontenac Grapes sell out fast, so hop on your chance to grow your own.
