The Story:

The enduring spirit of the early pioneers of Jackson County lives on in this robust wine made from native Lenoir grapes.  Reminiscent of wine originally made on the Portuguese Madeira Islands, it is first fortified as a preservative to make the long Atlantic crossing.  Its unique flavor comes from the effects of oak barrels and extended time in the hot, humid cargo hold of a ship.
