It has deep roots in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina, as it was created by a local doctor in the 1890s by mixing Jamaican ginger and sugar with local mineral waters and dispensed as a tonic for dyspepsia. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 5 Nehi - Grape, Peach or Orange In 1924, Claud A.

Starting from the ground up, the soil is the foundation that creates the backbone for all grapes. Detailed below are the profiles of each soil type and the particular complexities they can attribute to a wine. Soil Type A = Alluvial (sand, clay, gravel, silt/loess, loam) soils have good water and nutrient retention, which can translate into a more opulent style of wine. Throughout the world, these are the most prolific vine soils and a good place to look for more fruit-forward, approachable and juicy wines. S = Sedimentary (limestone, chalk, silex/flint) rock soils are made from solidified mineral or organic deposits. These soils work like a sponge, wicking water away and storing it as reserves for the vines when water is scarce. Highly valued in cool climates because of its heat reflection capabilities, this is a good place to look for bright, balanced, mineral-driven wines and bubbles! M = Metamorphic (slate, schist, gneiss) rock soils are formed under pressure from another type of rock, with many color variations and mineral make-up. Dark colors retain and radiate heat, contributing to ripening, helping develop color and more interesting flavors in grapes. Wines can have an underlying mineral quality and can be quite powerful, yet balanced. I = Igneous (volcanic, basalt, pumice, granite) rock soils are formed by lava flows above and below the earth's surface. Volcanic soil is formed from molten lava and ash deposited from the earth's surface. Granite is a plutonic rock formed deep under the earth's surface. Resulting wines are typically powerful with an earthy, ashy element, often savory and complex.
