Taste the “Superfuit” of the South

Let’s go back to 1970 to know the beginning of the story of Paulk Vineyards. It was the year the first muscadine crops were planted at the winery. From then to today, the Paulk family has planted over 600 hectares of muscadine plants along with scuppernongs. There have been six generations of Paulks who have tended to the lands, handled the grapes with care, and established a business that now makes products like jellies, juices, supplements, and wines. Wines that have won accolades for their taste, quality, and packaging.

Over the years, the hands that sowed the seeds and the ones that made the wine have changed, but the dedication and the love for muscadines have stayed the same. From using traditional tools to bringing in modern technology, the process has undergone a few tweaks. They have always stayed true to quality and that has resulted in Paulk Vineyards being recognized as a powerhouse muscadine winemaking family. The wines make for a great celebration of the grapes and can be enjoyed thoroughly by enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

Hugo Semi-Dry Red Muscadine: A savvy and sublime semi-dry red wine. A mixture of plums, cherries, and raspberries make up its nose while the palate has a subtle expression of ripe fruit. This wine was a silver medal winner at the 2020 USA Wine Ratings.

Pearl Semi-Dry White Muscadine: The honeydew, pineapple, and peach aromas are the highlights of this light white wine. Easygoing and exceptionally balanced without a large acidity, it is just as elegant as its namesake.

Highway 32 Sweet Blueberry Wine: Named after the route that connects Paulk Vineyards with the people in Alma, Georgia, Highway 32 is a great wine to sip and connect with friends. A delightfully sweet and fruity wine made from blueberries grown east of the estate.

Juliette Semi-sweet White Muscadine: Hints of orange rind and crushed grapefruit with the aroma of honeysuckle give this wine the feeling of a summer day. There is a gentle sweetness to the palate that comes from the muscadine tannins.

Lott Sweet Red Muscadine: A robust and deep wine, the Lott has a concentrated stewed fruit character to it. A sweet-tasting wine with a rounded palate, it is a very good easy-going wine to add to your collection.

Jacob Semi-sweet Red Muscadine: Among all the wines from Paulk Vineyards, this is the one you would want to uncork with your family. Expressions of strawberry, cherry and a hint of cotton-candy dominate this fruit-forward wine. Very smooth tasting and refreshing.

Satilla Road Sweet Strawberry Wine: Made from the fresh strawberries grown at the estate, this one doubles up as a great party wine or one that can be enjoyed alone with your favorite meal. It transfers you to the great spring weather when the strawberries are growing in all their might.

Apart from these, Paulk Vineyards also produces the County Line Road, a sweet Blackberry wine, the Rachel, another one of their sweet white muscadine wines, the Paulk Cabin, and the Lake Road, all great wines on their own. They also have customized gift boxes in store should you wish to carry these back home.
