Grapes: Marquette, Frontenac, De Chaunac
Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
A Quebec-grown red built from cold-hardy hybrid varieties, this blend leads with wild blueberry and black cherry fruit underscored by an earthy, slightly rustic character typical of Marquette and Frontenac. The naturally high acidity from the cool Quebec climate keeps the wine lively and food-friendly, while modest tannins from the Marquette add structure without aggression. Expect an honest, terroir-driven style that reflects the character of northeastern viticulture rather than mimicking Old World benchmarks.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.

Where it comes from
Quebec, Canada
Quebec is a cold, northern province of eastern Canada with a small but growing wine industry, concentrated south of Montreal near the US border.
Marquette
Marquette is a red hybrid grape developed by the University of Minnesota and released in the 2000s, bred for excellent cold hardiness so that quality red wine could be grown in harsh northern climates.
Frontenac
Frontenac is a red hybrid grape developed by the University of Minnesota's breeding programme, created to survive brutally cold winters while still ripening a usable crop.
De Chaunac
De Chaunac is a red hybrid of mixed European and American parentage, developed in France and later valued across cooler parts of North America for its disease resistance and tolerance of hard winters.
