Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Frontenac is a cold-hardy hybrid grape bred for Quebec's punishing winters, and it shows — this is a rustic, lively red driven by tart wild cherry and cranberry with a peppery, earthy edge. The naturally high acidity is the variety's hallmark, giving the wine a bright, food-friendly lift that can veer toward sharpness in less ripe years. It's an honest expression of Quebec terroir: not a polished international style, but something genuine and place-specific.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
