Burger is a white grape variety, with its roots in Bordeaux, France.

The wines show light body, no tannin, medium acidity, dry and medium alcohol.

It is planted most seriously in San Joaquin Valley.

In the vineyard it is marked by late ripening, productive vigour and a preference for warm.

On other labels it goes by Monbadon and Frontignan.

At the table it suits peach-glazed pork chops, caesar salad and shrimp cocktail.
