Old Timer's Festival
A classic sweet white Scuppernong blend with a clean finish.
Taste
Old Timers Festival is a sweet white wine made from the Scuppernong, one of the oldest and best-known varieties of the Muscadine grape. Light and sweet with the unmistakable flavor of ripe Scuppernongs, it’s an easy-drinking wine with plenty of sweetness from the first sip.
Give this one a little time on your palate. It cleans itself up nicely on the back end, finishing crisp and clean without bitterness or a heavy, lingering sweetness. Pay close attition to your taste buds and notice how the sweetness falls away on the finiss. It makes another sip pretty hard to resist!
Pairings
Old Timers Festival is perfectly enjoyable on its own as a dessert or finishing wine. Cool, sweet, and easy to sip, it’s a versatile choice when you want something sweeter without a bitter or lingering aftertaste.
If you’d rather enjoy it with food, keep things on the lighter side. It pairs nicely with poultry, seafood, light summer meals, and can even be served before dinner with appetizers. Its sweet Scuppernong flavor and clean finish make it surprisingly versatile, but for us, a chilled glass after dinner is where Old Timers Festival really shines.
Serving
Serve Old Timers Festival well chilled. Its sweet Scuppernong flavor is at its best cold, while the crisp, clean finish keeps each sip feeling light and refreshing. It works well as an easy before-dinner wine but stands out as the wine we grab for a little something sweet at the end of the evening.
Like our other Muscadine wines, Old Timers Festival is best enjoyed young and fresh rather than saved for long-term aging. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it refrigerated.
