It was grown from a crossing of the complex interspecific hybrid Landot 4511 and a very cold hardy selection of Vitis riparia. It was released in 1996.Frontenac gris is a white wine version of Frontenac introduced in 2003. It started as a single bud mutation of Frontenac yielding gray (thus named gris) fruit and amber-colored juice.
