Southeastern US state (Atlantic coast) with a hot, humid subtropical climate; wine industry dominated by native Muscadine and Scuppernong (Vitis rotundifolia) vines. Muscadine is the signature wine (white/rosé/red): sweet and fruity with intense banana, fresh grape, orange blossom and candy notes. The Upstate near the Blue Ridge grows vinifera: firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Merlot, Chardonnay and floral Viognier. Fruit wines also produced.
