Newbie wants a vineyard!

Appleman , I am planting Frontenac Gris this spring what can I expect from this grape. flavor , body etc.

It actually makes a very pleasant tasting white wine- actually pink. It has good body, slight muscat flavor with spice and some fruit. Acidity is fairly high so figure on making this one at least semi-sweet. Brix and culture comparable to regular Frontenac. I look forward to Frontenac Blanc at some point in the future. Some are breeding for it, but it already exists as a sport mutation. Pretty good choice with the Front Gris.

i have my first frontenac gris sitting in a small carboy right now...it is needing more time....nice color wine so far...vine itself is vigorous....may still need to tame down the acid and sweeten some
