What is Muscadine?
Muscadine is a sweet dessert style wine made from the Muscadine grape variety (Vitis rotundifolia). Several cultivars of Muscadine have been used for making commercial wines and ports since the 16th Century around the St. Augustine, Florida area. Muscadine is native to the southeastern United States from Delaware to Florida and west to Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Muscadine grapes tend to have lower sugars at ripeness than other wine grapes so most vintners add sugar during the winemaking process resulting a generally sweet wine.
