Also made as dry and semi-sweet whites in the northeastern United States. French hybrid created in 1930 by Jean-Louis Vidal (Ugni Blanc × Rayon d'Or).
Largest AVA of New Jersey, south-east of the state on draining sandy soils. Temperate climate moderated by the Atlantic and Delaware Bay. Signature Bordeaux varieties and hybrids. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, cedar, spices), peppery Cabernet Franc (bell pepper, raspberry), supple Merlot.
