Beneduce Vineyards (/ˌbɛnəˈduːtʃi/ BEN-ə-DOO-chee) is a winery in the Pittstown section of Alexandria Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States.[2][3] A family farm since 2000, the vineyard was first planted in 2009, and opened to the public in 2012.[4][5] Beneduce has 10 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces 4,000 cases of wine per year.[6][7] The winery is named after the family that owns it.[5]

## Wines

[edit]

Beneduce Vineyards primarily grows and produces wine from aromatic varietals, including Blaufränkisch (Lemberger), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Chardonnay, Corot noir, Gewürztraminer, Malbec, Noiret, Pinot noir, Riesling, and Syrah.[7][8] It is the only winery in New Jersey that produces wine from Noiret, which is a red hybrid grape developed in New York in 1973.[9][10] Beneduce is not located in one of New Jersey's three viticultural areas.[7][11]

Formerly used for growing plants for a garden center, this greenhouse is now used for hosting special events.

## Licensing and associations

[edit]

Beneduce 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 its subsidiary, Vintage North Jersey.[14][15]
