Outer Coastal Plain AVA (recognized since February 9, 2007) is a wine-growing region in the US state of New Jersey . The area extends over the administrative areas of Cumberland , Cape May , Atlantic and Ocean Counties as well as in parts of the Counties Salem , Gloucester , Camden , Burlington and Monmouth . Outer Coastal Plain AVA is a protected designation of origin .
The soil is mostly sandy or consists of very sandy loam ; it is thus well drained . However, the soil is not very fertile. Due to the proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay , the climate is mostly temperate and the region has a long growing season for the grape varieties .
Due to the cool climate in the northern areas of the Outer Coastal Plain far from the Atlantic, there is a relatively high proportion of French hybrid vines such as Chambourcin, Seyval Blanc, etc.
