What is a Muscadine?
Muscadines (often Vitis rotundifolia) are a native grape species of the southeastern United States, known for their thick skins, bold flavors, and natural resilience to heat, humidity, and many local pests and diseases. They range from bronze to deep purple and are used for fresh eating, juices, jams, and distinctive wine styles. Muscadines are an important regional crop, valued for their adaptability and rich antioxidant content.
