The
muscadine grape is king in the South, and apparently always felt
right at home in the Mississippi warmth.
Early Southern
settlers described them as growing on the sand, hills or plains
- or anywhere else the vine could plant its hardy roots.
Today, a handful
of Mississippi wine growers are supplying the demand for sweeter
tasting wines throughout the state with the all-purpose, disease-resistant
muscadine.
Find out more
about the muscadine, how it's used to make wine in Mississippi,
and why they call it "the passion fruit of the South..."
