Our wines regularly win medals in international wine competitions!
Chestnut Run Farm in a small artisan winery located in the Outer Coastal Plain viticultural area of New Jersey. We grow the fruit used in wine production here and make our distinct wines in very small batches.
Chestnut Run Farm produces three Asian pear wines and a Fuji apple wine. We grow eight different varieties of Asian pears, ferment the varieties separately or in specific combinations, and then blend the resulting wine to develop the three distinctly different Asian pear wines we bottle. We also grow Fuji apples and use them to produce our Fuji apple wine. All fruit used for wine production is grown here on our farm and we use only perfect, tree-ripened fruit for fermentation; no drops or otherwise lower grade fruit are used. If we would not pack a piece of fruit for table use, we do not use it in the production of our wine. Quality wines can only be made from quality fruit.
Our most recent awards were a Silver Medal for our Semi-Sweet Asian Pear Wine in the 2012 Tasters Guild International Wine Competition and a Double Gold Medal for our Spiced Sweet Asian Pear Wine in the 2012 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition.
