Mellow, sweet red wine blended from Muscadine grapes and a bit of ripe Catawba grapes Brand Story ----------- Duplin Winery strives to produce wines that capture the spirit of our heritage while maintaining the freshness of the fruit with unwavering quality. Every bottle produced by Duplin draws the same pleasure and appreciation as the first. Our vision places emphasis on tradition, heritage, and appreciation in our enduring quest to bring honor to God and provide our family and our friends with the best Muscadine wines in the world. Duplin's roots trace back to the 1970's when Muscadine grapes were considered a "wonder crop" and a large winery out of New York was paying $350 per ton for North Carolina's native grapes. D.J. Fussell, Sr. and his two sons decided to grow grapes. Within three years, the price fell to $150 per ton and the Fussell's were looking for a way to salvage their livelihoods. In the early 1970's, the family decided to create a market for their grapes and started making wine. In-laws, grandchildren, Aunts, and Uncles all pitched in stomping grapes and bottling wine. While larger wineries flew their sales executives across the country in corporate jets, the Fussell's traveled with their wines in a converted hog trailer. "We pulled up to this sophisticated wine distributor in Raleigh… It was the first time they had seen anyone bring them wine loaded in a hog trailer,” said David G. Fussell, Sr. Today, this North Carolina winery has a tank capacity of over 1.4 million gallons, is the largest winery in the South, and produces the bestselling wine in North Carolina. Duplin's award winning North Carolina wines include Magnolia, featured in Martha Stewart Living as a summertime favorite. "For three generations, our winery has remained family-owned and family run, built on the core principles of hard work, integrity, and the uncompromising desire to make America's best and favorite Muscadine wines." -DAVID G, FUSSELL, JR, PRESIDENT & CEO
