New Jersey; the fifth-largest wine-producing state in the country; has been making wine since 1864. While perhaps not as well known as other wine-producing states; New Jersey is home to many premier varieties. Award-winning chardonnay; syrah; marechal foch; viognier; traminette; merlot; cabernet; and dozens of others are produced in the state. Particularly unique to New Jersey wineries is an array of fruit wines; such as raspberry; cherry; and blueberry; which are exported all over the world. Because of the climate and conditions of the state; New Jersey wines are most often compared by viticulturists and enologists to the wines of France and Italy. From Cape May County up to the northernmost tip of Sussex County; New Jersey wineries offer more than 200 varieties of wine.
