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]
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]
