Region:


New Jersey

New Jersey, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the dense forests of the east coast, is a vibrant and diverse winegrowing region. The state’s American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) are influenced by a mix of Atlantic breezes and the moderate climate provided by its proximity to water. These conditions temper the seasonal extremes, allowing for a longer growing season. The cool air from the ocean and the rivers moderates the vineyards, enabling grapes to ripen steadily, developing rich flavors and balanced acidity. Vineyards closer to the coast excel with cooler-climate varietals that produce refined and elegant wines, while the more protected inland areas nurture bolder, more robust varieties.
