Grape And Citrus Tampa Wines

By Krystal Branch


Wine grapes were first planted in the state of Florida in the sixteenth century. Although wine making has deep roots there, due to their tropical climate, until the nineteenth century, there was no mass production of Tampa wines. In the thirties, a new hybrid was developed, suited for this type of climate, and it was the real beginning of more serious wine production.

The specialties of Tampa bay Area are fruit or citrus vines, although some wineries make their products using grapes only. One of these companies focused on original grape beverages only is The strong Tower winery. All their products are made from four types of grapes, but even they have a special, blueberry wine in their offer. Different combinations of citrus and grape vines can be found in most other wineries.

Other wineries such as Florida Orange Groves and Winery, located in Pinellas County, offers pure citrus based vines. If you are more interested in traditional wineries, you can try some of their tasty and interesting products in Rosa Fiorelly winery, in Bradenton. They offer free wine tasting every day, and the same thing is with The Florida Estates winery in Paco County.

To be able to produce their delicious wine combinations, most wineries import their grapes from Canada and California, and then use them for making traditional Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and White Zinfandel, or for making their specialties. Some grow their own grapes as well, and you will be able to find very nice vines here.

Florida fruit vines might surprise you. One of the most popular fruit vines is a blueberry vine. You will find sweet, dry and semi-dry ones, and all are full of specific flavor and aroma you will soon learn to appreciate. There is also one very light and seductive product, just ideal for hot summer days. This delicious, delicate vine is made from strawberries and Riesling grapes. Chilled and gold colored vine is a perfect companion to your seasonal salad, mixed fruits or sweets.

Red wines combinations of wild berries and well known Pinot Noir are seductive and aromatic. They pair great with spiced foods, Asian dishes and all intensive tastes. The one made by Keel and Curley winery includes raspberries and blueberries, among other berries, and is widely appreciated.

Bitter-sweet tasted, orange-red Tangerine wine is delicate and refreshing at the same time. Tangerine is mostly combined with Zinfandel. Lemon and lime are often used in production of these beverages. For example, Key West Key Lime was the best fruit wine made in Florida in 2009, and it combines zingy flavors of key lime with delicate aroma of Sauvignon Blanc.

Full body and intensive aroma of pure blackberry vine is too much for some people, but this vine has extraordinary qualities that shouldn't be ignored. It is full of valuable anti oxidants, iron and some other vitamins and minerals, great for re-convalescents. It is considered to be extremely healthy, and, if you prefer stronger aromas, you won't be sorry if you taste it.

Tampa wines offer a wide variety of very appealing tastes and aromas. You will surely find something interesting there, whether you choose the wineries focused on grapes only, or the ones using fruit combinations. The fact is that the real specialties of this state are fruit-wines, and you should definitely give them a chance to surprise you.
