Marquette "The Jewel of Cold-Climate Wine"

The Marquette grape is one of the most outstanding varieties in cold-climate viticulture. Developed by the University of Minnesota in 2006, this hybrid grape combines the elegance of Pinot Noir with the resilience needed to withstand extreme winters.

Marquette wine offers a sophisticated and well-balanced flavor profile. It features notes of cherry, dark berries, black pepper, and spices, with subtle earthy aromas that add depth. Its body is medium, with vibrant acidity and smooth tannins, making it versatile for both young consumption and barrel aging. If aged in oak barrels, it develops hints of vanilla, leather, and cocoa. Its balance makes it an excellent pairing for red meats, aged cheeses, and spiced dishes. Depending on its vinification, it can resemble Pinot Noir but with more structure and complexity.

Marquette has proven to be one of the best choices for cold-climate viticulture, offering expressive, well-balanced wines with remarkable aging potential. Its versatility and complexity make it an ideal choice for both producers and wine enthusiasts seeking something unique and sophisticated.
