Sharrott Winery (pronounced /ˈʃærət/ SHARR-ət) is a winery in the Blue Anchor section of Winslow Township in Camden County, New Jersey.[2][3] Formerly an apple orchard, the vineyard was first planted in 2005, and opened to the public in 2008.[4][5] Sharrott has 6 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces 4,600 cases of wine per year.[6][7] The winery is named after the family that owns it.[8]

Wines[]

Sharrott Winery is in the Outer Coastal Plain AVA, and produces wine from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, , Merlot, Pinot gris, Riesling, Vidal blanc, and Vignoles (Ravat 51) grapes. Sharrott also makes fruit wines from blueberries, cranberries, and peaches.[7][9]

Decorated here for the autumn season, many events are held throughout the year at Sharrott Winery.

Features, licensing, associations, and outlets[]

The entire winery facility is powered using solar energy.[10][11] Sharrott has a plenary winery license from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which allows it to produce an unrestricted amount of wine, operate up to 15 off-premises sales rooms, and ship up to 12 cases per year to consumers in-state or out-of-state.[12][13] The winery is a member of the Garden State Wine Growers Association and the Outer Coastal Plain Vineyard Association.[14][15] In 2013, Sharrott became the first winery in the state to have a theatre as an outlet where its wine is sold by the glass to patrons.[16][17]
