WINE DESCRIPTION

Gran Moraine Chardonnay is a premium wine produced by Gran Moraine Winery from fruit grown in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA of Oregon. The winery is known for its sustainable farming practices and the use of traditional winemaking techniques. The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from the estate vineyard, which is situated on a hillside with volcanic soils and a cool climate, resulting in a wine with vibrant acidity. The winemaking process involves barrel fermentation and aging in French oak, which adds complexity and richness to the wine. The style of Gran Moraine Chardonnay is elegant and balanced, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of vanilla. It is a perfect wine to pair with seafood, poultry, or creamy pasta dishes.

ORIGINS

Winery: Gran Moraine

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
