Noble Muscadine Grape Vine – A Premium Dark Purple Grape for Juicing & Winemaking! 🍇🌿

The Noble Muscadine Grape Vine (Vitis rotundifolia ‘Noble’) is one of the most sought-after muscadine varieties for both home and commercial growers. Developed in the 1970s by researchers at the University of Florida, the Noble Muscadine quickly became a favorite due to its high yields, disease resistance, and deep purple-black fruit. This self-fertile variety is particularly famous for its use in high-quality red muscadine wines, juices, and jellies. With its sweet yet slightly tart flavor, high antioxidant content, and robust growth habit, the Noble Muscadine is a top choice for any backyard vineyard or fruit garden.
