"Muscat a petit grains" is this variety's official name and it means Muscat with little berries. Frontignan is the common European name for this floral variety producing intensely perfumed wines. Frontignac is a red grape of low colour intensity that produces white wines in sweet or dry styles. Frontignac is similar to Traminer and is an aromatic wine.
The colour of this wine may vary from light gold to deeper yellows and golds due to this varieties genetic instability. Mutations are common. Similar to Traminer, these wines are strongly perfumed and fragrant wines and deliver intense floral, perfume, rose water, and spice. The mouth feel will vary with the style produced (sweet or dry) however the overwhelming sensations will be those of the perfume and florals.
