Frontignac Wines

Here is a fortified wine that is made from Muscadelle, Muscat a Petit Grains and Pedro Ximenez (or PX for short). It comes from some of the oldest vines on the estate and displays a deepish golden colour, along with some appealing orange marmalade...

Frontignac ('fronty' to its mates) is one of those varieties that makes you fall in love with it on the nose. It's highly fragrant with lovely tropical and floral scents on the nose that you will just want to bathe in. The palate is light and brig...

Frontignac is renown for producing easy drinking, floral, aromatic wines, and this offering from Schild Estate is no different. Tropical and flower notes decorate the nose, whilst the palate is sweet, spotless and fruity with refreshing acidity cl...

Pale yellow colour. Very clean, intense and fragrant muscaty frontignac aromas, with no sign of the fortifying alcohol. Same in the mouth: fully sweet and intense with well-concentrated muscat fruit to burn, and the length and aftertaste are excel...

Very light yellow colour. Very restrained, fresh, youthful aroma with rather light muscat fruit aromas and subtle yeasty traces. Quite sweet and broad on the palate with modest fruit and gentle sweetness, finishing fairly dry with a slight grip. T...

Light, bright crimson, a little deeper than rose; has very considerable sweetness, designed strictly for cellar door. An interesting closure: ProCork membrane over a Diam body. Belts and braces stuff.

The 2010 Frontignac is pale straw in colour with a slight green hue. Striking varietal aromas of florals and musk burst from the glass nestled with elegant tangerine and citrus tones. The palate is a mouth filling display of similar flavours w...

There is luscious sweetness on the front of the palate, but this gives way to the crisp, clean acidity, which ensures that the wine finishes with freshness and is not at all cloying. This simple, uncomplicated wine is an excellent accompaniment...

Light yellow-green; an intensely fruity but rather sweet bouquet leads on to a palate which is seriously sweet. Evidently driven by commercial considerations, but I much prefer earlier versions of the wine.

Light green-yellow; the spicy, grapey aromas are pungent and fragrant; although the palate finishes with attractive lemony acidity, I cannot help but think the wine would have been better were it not so sweet.

What delightful aromas this has! There's honeysuckle, rose petal, Turkish delight... all the spices of the Levant swirling from your glass. It has the kind of quality that gives respectability to sweet wines: positive varietal characters, a sweetn...

Delicate green gold, it has the lifted floral aromas of freshly squeezed grapes. The palate is refreshingly zippy and crisp, and finishes with a touch of naturally retained grape sweetness. A delightful drop indeed.

Delicate green gold, it has the delightful fresh tropical aromas. Picked early to retain delicacy, the palate is refreshing and finishes with a touch of naturally retained grape sweetness. A delightful drop indeed.

For those who enjoy their wines sweet (Rosemount say 'medium-dry'), here is an attractive, fragrant white with lychee, rose petal and frangipani flavours and a sweet, syrupy finish.
