Muscadine Red

Muscadine Red Wine Details
Price:

Description: Fresh plucked grape aromas fill the nose while homemade strawberry jam plays on the palate in our Muscadine Red wine created from North Carolina Muscadine.

Varietal Definition
Muscadine:
A species of native American vines that were first discovered by European explorers, who found them growing along the low lying Southern coastal regions. Most Muscadine wines (reds and whites) are blends, usually given proprietary names by the winery (e.g., "Vintners' Blend"), and vinified in the sweet or semi-sweet style. Muscadines and blends are usually sweet and foxy (a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky).
Carlos:
Made as a varietal by several U.S. wineries, mainly in N. Carolina and Mississipi, this bronze Muscadine hybrid derived from the native American species grape found in the Southern states is generally made into sweet wines. The best known related variety is the Scuppernong.
