Situated in the lush green landscape of South Georgia are 40 acres of some of the highest quality, sweetest Muscadine grapes in America. This woody vine, native to the Southeast United states and known for the musky fruit it bears, is the heart and soul of Horse Creek Winery & Perry Vineyards in Nashville, Georgia.
The winery began in 1992 as a fresh-fruit vineyard. Owner Ed Perry specializes in muscadines and soon was shipping the sweet, savory grapes all over the Southeast, and from New York to Miami and even out west to Texas. From there, Perry discovered that a few wineries in the South were buying muscadine grapes from growers in South Georgia and the Carolina's to make wine.
With the realization that his grapes were the main ingredient in desired wines at other well-known wineries in the South, Ed Perry began thinking about making wines from his own vineyard. And it didn't take him long to get started.
Perry recruited his cousin, Jeff Dorsey to come on board. Dorsey owns the adjacent farm on Sandy Bluff producing pecans, vegetables, and beef and is converting to more natural farming practices. The creek that runs between the two properties – Horse Creek – was named by W.D. "Bill" Perry, Ed's father. When Dorsey became a partner in the venture, they decided on the name Horse Creek Winery, fitting since it is the channel adjoining the family's properties.
Along with Dorsey, Perry has retained the services of a seasoned wine maker. Horse Creek's experienced vintner's vision includes using old world artisanship to produce wines that are unique in flavor and of exceptional quality.
Together, the families and friends are determined to give this South Georgia winery a national appeal.
"We don't intend to be just a side of the road winery," Perry said. "We really expect our wines to win gold medals and compete in Napa Valley. We are very serious about producing award winning muscadine and vinifera wines."
And you better take this former state legislator's word to heart, because "...in vino veritas" meaning "there is truth in wine".
