Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Frontenac gris, the white wine version of Frontenac, started as a single bud mutation yielding gray (thus named gris) fruit and amber-colored juice. Very vigorous vines. Arching canes and minimal tendrils provide easy training and pruning. Unique and complex flavors make this an excellent grape for table, dessert, and wine. Top Wire trellis recommended.
