SHANNON CAULFIELD/The Shamong Sun
The vines at Valenzano Winery look bare just before budding begins. Winery staff finished pruning for the process to begin. The Valenzanos
own 88 acres, 24 of which are dedicated to growing grapes. The remaining 64-acres are leased for pumpkin and hay production.
Vineyard prepares for new season
By SHANNON CAULFIELD
The Shamong Sun
The spring season means
preparation for the regrowth of
the crops at Valenzano Winery.
The staff recently finished
pruning the vineyard for the an-
nual regrowth of grapes.
In April, there are two to three
weeks when buds breakthrough,
beginning the new crop.
Unlike classic agricultural
farms, wineries dont sow new
seeds each year. Rather, when
new varietals are added to a se-
lection of wine, vines are raised
from stock.
It depends on what is being
planted, but well buy 2- to 3-year-
old vine stock 12-inches in size.
Well plant the root stock. Those
buds grow planted new vines,
owner of the winery Anthony
Valenzano Winery
staff prunes grapes
to allow regrowth
please see CRANBERRIES, page 2
Valenzano said. The first year is
spent training that vine, well get
a light crop and drop it in order to
establish the crop. By 2015, we
should have a good crop.
Last season, approximately 60
percent of the crops suffered from
late frost in May. The winery
owns 88 acres of land, 24 of which
have numerous types of grapes,
including concord, the type best
known for jelly production and
Valenzanos Shamong Red. The
remaining 64-acres are leased for
non-commercial pumpkin and
hay production.
Despite yielding 120 tons of
grapes, Valenzanos purchases
grapes from local wineries, in-
cluding Bellview in Landisville.
If they have a surplus of fruit
we buy it up, Valenzano said.
Theres a big demand for our
wines. We dont have any surplus,
so were looking for other farms to
grow for us.
According to Valenzano, their
winery is one of the biggest pur-
chasers of fruit in the state.
Blueberries are acquired from
companies in Hammonton and
Millers Farm in Tabernacle.
Cranberries for both red and
white cranberry wines are pur-
chased from Lee Brothers Inc. in
Chatsworth.
We were the first people to
start making cranberry wine.
White cranberries are really hard
to get. We have cranberry bogs
grown just for us, Valenzano
said.
One hundred acres are utilized
off-site for the production of fruit
for the winery.
The winery is included in the
Outer Coastal Plain, an indicator
of the region, comparable to Napa
Valley or Sonoma Valley.
There are more than 30 winer-
ies and commercial vineyards in
the Outer Coastal Plain American
Viticulture Area. The region is lo-
cated between Philadelphia and
the Jersey Shore with more than
2.25 million acres in the heart of
South Jersey suited to growing
dozens of wine varietals, accord-
ing to Vintage South Jersey, part
of the South Jersey Tourism
Corp.
Its a designated area for grow-
ing grapes. When most people see
Napa Valley on a label, it usually
means its a quality wine. Its sim-
ilar for the Outer Coastal Plain,
but that means more putting out
good wines and building the repu-
tation, Valenzano said.
The vineyard produces half a
million bottles of wine per year,
according to winemaker Michael
Jones.
The wine is made at the time of
harvest.
Well pick grapes that day and
crush them or press them depend-
ing on red or white, we dont let
them sit that day, Jones said.
The moderate spring and sum-
mer climate of South Jersey
mixed with the sandy soil compo-
sition is a good combination for
grape production.
It depends on the grape, but
some like more moisture. We like
it to be temperate with constant
rains, not heavy rains, Jones
said.
Traditionally, its a well-
drained soil where were at. If we
do get a lot of rain, its not like the
plants are just sitting in water.
The biggest concern is how much
sun you have and the last frost of
winter, Valenzano said.
When this years crop is ready,
it will be harvested and crushed
for the production of wine.
Valenzanos yields 40,000 cases
of wine each year, according to
Jones.
Were a family business. We
make wines for all tastes, we
dont exclude anybody, Valen-
zano said.

MARCH 20-26, 2013 THE SHAMONG SUN 3
Medford, NJ The SJ
Junior Tour is offering a
team sports approach to
golf in South Jersey this
Spring through PGA Jun-
ior League Golf. PGA Jun-
ior League Golf brings
juniors into the game in
an exciting new way, fos-
tering a sense of sports-
manship and teamwork
typically associated with
other recreational team
sports. Teams consist of
youngsters ages 9 to 13,
with no previous playing
experience required.
Much like other recre-
ational league sports,
PGA Junior League Golf
participants receive team
uniforms with jersey
numbers. Rosters are co-
ed with competitions
being two-person scram-
bles, which reinforces the
team concept and limits
the pressure on any one
player. Coaches can sub-
stitute players every three
holes so all of the 10 to 12
golfers on each team can
participate.
Teams play regular sea-
son matches throughout
the first part of the season
before convening for city,
sectional and regional
championships. Each re-
gional champion, along
with the host region team,
advance to a national
championship held in the
fall.
We are excited to cre-
ate a PGA Junior Golf
League for our local jun-
ior golfers, said Brad
Hare, PGA Professional.
It allows us to introduce
the game of golf to young
boys and girls in a fun,
team-oriented setting and
enhances the experience
of competitive golf with
juniors. This program
will have a big impact on
junior golf in our area.
The PGA of America
brought the team golf
concept to select facilities
across the country in
2012. More than 1,800
young golfers competed
on more than 120 teams in
22 markets throughout
June and July. Modeled
after Little League Base-
ball, PGA Junior League
Golf introduces children
to the game of golf in a
team setting. Parents also
play an active role, mak-
ing the program a family
activity to create another
generation of players to
enjoy the game.
Parents interested in
registering their children
for PGA Junior League
Golf or finding out more
information about the
program can contact Brad
Hare, SJ Junior Tour
