More informations about the region of Delaware
Delaware is a state on the east coast of the United States, bordered by New Jersey, Maryland and the Atlantic Ocean. Vinifera and Hybrid grapes thrive in the state's cool maritime Climate and Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Chambourcin are all planted in small quantities. However, while the neighboring states of New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia have well-established wine industries, Delaware has very little wine-making activity and only a handful of wineries produce Delaware wines. Currently, there are no American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in Delaware, other than the Generic state appellation, and Delaware wines are not well known outside the state.
