Frontignac Wines

Frontignac typically shows flavours of orange blossom, lemon, musk, fresh grapes and tropical fruit with a fragrant floral lift. It often has gentle sweetness balanced by bright acidity. Many styles are light, aromatic and refreshing with a perfumed finish.

Frontignac is primarily grown in Australia, especially in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. It is the Australian name for Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, one of the oldest and most aromatic grape varieties. Plantings also exist in Europe and South Africa under different names.

Yes. Frontignac is the Australian name for Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, the most highly regarded Muscat variety. It is known for its intense perfume and versatility. While all Frontignac is Muscat, not all Muscat wines come from this specific clone.

Frontignac pairs well with fruit desserts, pavlova, sorbet, pastries, soft cheeses and lightly spiced dishes. Its sweetness and aromatics complement fresh berries, citrus and tropical flavours. It also works beautifully as a chilled aperitif or with afternoon treats.

Frontignac is used to produce sweet and semi sweet whites, lightly sparkling styles, still aromatic wines and occasionally fortified versions. Most expressions focus on perfume, freshness and vibrant fruit, making it a popular choice for summer drinking.
