[2] [3] Formerly an apple orchard, the vineyard was first planted in 2005, and opened to the public in 2008. [4] [5] Sharrott has 20 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces 12,000 cases of wine per year. [6] [7] The winery is named after the family that owns it. [8]

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