Fruithurst Winery, Fruithurst Al
The idea of resurrecting Fruithurst as a wine-making community came about with two of the Laminack cousins, Joshua and Dylan – one running the business and the other acting as “enologist” making the wine. They now have a 15 acre vineyard of 3500 Carlos and Noble varieties of muscadines. Each of the rows is 300 feet long and that is to minimize the damage if there were to be a lightning strike. One of the two leading causes of vine death is lightning strike. The farm has been in their family for over 100 years. The farm was originally used to farm corn and cattle before they converted to muscadines.
