Frontenac Blanc
Vine Characteristics
Frontenac blanc makes naturally white wines, from clusters averaging 0.3 lb/cluster. Frontenac blanc, like the other Frontenac varieties, is extremely cold hardy and can survive cold events down to -35°F with relatively little bud or cordon injury. It can be grown successfully in USDA Zones 4 and some areas of Zone 3. Frontenac blanc is a high vigor variety.
Wine Characteristics
Frontenac blanc offers flavors and aromas of citrus, pineapple, and other tropical fruit notes with a rich and concentrated mouthfeel.
Susceptibility to Diseases and Pests
Frontenac blanc has a high susceptibility to foliar phylloxera. It is moderately susceptible to powdery mildew, black rot, and anthracnose. A spray program for fungal diseases, focusing on bud break through bloom, is important for managing this variety.
