Tasting Notes
This Minnesota-grown Frontenac Gris is an unapologetically aromatic and fruit-forward white wine with a vivid personality and striking color. Bursting with bold stone fruit flavors and unmistakable varietal character, it’s a lively expression of what cold-hardy grapes can deliver. Its brilliant orange hue reflects both its vibrant flavor profile and minimal intervention style.
Aroma
The nose is intensely perfumed, showcasing ripe peach, apricot, and melon, with supporting notes of orange blossom and a whisper of citrus peel. It’s a heady, fragrant wine that leaps from the glass.
Palate
On the palate, this Frontenac Gris is acidic and juicy and expressive, delivering a rush of stone fruit flavors—peach nectar, apricot—balanced by a splash of fresh acidity. The bright orange color suggests skin contact, but it is the natural color of the juice. The flavor remains clean, fresh, and fruit-driven.
Food Pairing
Pair this wine with Thai or Indian curries, Moroccan tagines, or shrimp tacos. It’s also a fun match with strong cheeses, charcuterie, or roasted root vegetables. For a more adventurous pairing, try it with Korean BBQ or bánh mì.
Aging Potential
Best enjoyed young to showcase its bold aromatics and electric fruit profile. While it may evolve in the bottle for 1–2 years, its vibrancy is at its peak now.
