Tongue River Wines offers a selection of red wines made from Frontenac, Marquette, and Petite Pearl grapes. While specific details about their origin are unknown, these varietals come together in an intriguing blend that showcases the potential of cold-climate grape varieties like Marquette. With its bright, spicy character reminiscent of cherry and berry fruit, Marquette is a modern hybrid developed for northern regions where traditional Vitis vinifera grapes struggle to thrive. Expect medium-bodied wines with lively acidity and moderate tannin, often highlighted by notes of cherry, blackberry, cranberry, and sometimes pepper or earthy undertones. Whether you're pairing these wines with grilled sausages, barbecue, roast pork, or other rich dishes, their unique profile makes them a versatile choice for any occasion.
