Description:
Made from the fresh squeezed juice of the native Florida muscadine noble grape. A dark red wine with a purple fluorescence that seems to radiate taste and aroma, we've created this specialty wine in a dry and a semisweet version. This unique variety of grape has undertones of concord and white American oak combined with overtones of its distinctly muscadine character. Our vintner's reserve, its absolutely delicious where a red wine is desired with special dishes. Available each year beginning in December as long as supplies last.

Varietal Definition
Concord:
This native American grape varietal (of the genus vitis labrusca) is used in making old- fashioned, "rustic" country-style red wines, often displaying what most people think of as a "grape jelly aroma." In fact, the Concord is widely used in the production of jellies and jams. This East Coast varietal produces wines that have been variously described as foxy, meaning they have a unique aroma/flavor profile variously described as wild and musky. Mogen David is perhaps the quintessential Concord wine.

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).
