Marquette is a red wine grape variety that is primarily grown in the Northern United States and Canada. It is known for its cold-hardiness and its strong resistance to diseases, making it especially viable for winemaking in colder climates. Marquette is a hybrid grape, developed by the University of Minnesota, from a complex ancestry that includes both classic Vitis vinifera (like Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon) and several hardy North American grape species.
The Marquette grape produces wines that are complex and full-bodied, with high sugar content and moderate to high acidity. The wines often have flavors and aromas of cherry, berry, black pepper, and spice, with hints of tobacco and measures of tannin usually balanced and not overpowering. Because of its robust flavor profile, it pairs well with a variety of foods, including grilled meats, pasta dishes, and strong cheeses.
As a young wine, Marquette's fruity flavors are most prominent, while its spicier traits tend to develop and become more pronounced with age. Due to its unique characteristics and versatility, Marquette has become an increasingly popular varietal among winemakers and wine lovers, especially for those in regions with colder climates.
