Our Wines
G & W Winery is growing wines best suited for the Jersey Cape's microclimate.
It is not up to the vintner to decide which wine grapes to plant; the land, climate, and sun has already decided for him. Trying to grow a wine grape in the wrong place will result in failure or, at best, inferior wine.

The Jersey Cape is surrounded on three sides by water: the Atlantic Ocean to the east and south, and the Delaware Bay to the west. This unique geography provides a growing season that is longer than almost anywhere else on the east coast by almost ten days. The ocean breeze both cools the grapes in the summer and prevents extreme temperatures in the winter, spring, and fall. These conditions bless the Jersey Cape with a microclimate that is ideal for wine grapes.

Cabernet FrancDescription to follow

Pino GrisOur crisp yet elegant Pinot Grigio opens with a bouquet of acacia flowers and presents with a semi-dry, well-balanced essence of crisp apple and ripe pear.
The rounded flavors complement perfectly with grilled chicken, fish, salads, and light sauces. |
ChardonnayThis full-bodied Chardonnay displays tropical fruit flavors with a subtle hint of vanilla and pink grapefruit.
The buttery nature is best suited with grilled fish, chicken, creamy pasta dishes, or alone as the sun disappears below the horizon and the evening cools. |
All four have been chosen after careful research and years of trials.
Each variety is ideal for G & W's location on the Outer Coastal Plain.
