Gran Moraine Yamhill Carlton Chardonnay

A unique wine from the United States. When you think of American wines, California often immediately comes to mind. It's no secret that some of the most fantastic wines originate here. However, wine is also produced in other states, including Oregon. That's where this white wine from Gran Moraine comes from. The winery's name is derived from the glacial movements of the last ice age in this region. The driving force behind Gran Moraine is none other than the illustrious Kendall Jackson. These Oregon wines are guaranteed to be successful!

A white wine from Oregon

The vineyards are located in Oregon's most beautiful area, the Willamette Valley, situated south of Portland. This region is known for its unique microclimate. Because Oregon is much further north than the major wine regions of California, it's also considerably cooler here. The climate bears some resemblance to Burgundy. It's no wonder that Chardonnay and Pinot Noir thrive here. There's plenty of freshness, but also plenty of sunshine. This perfect combination ensures that the Chardonnay grapes for this Gran Moraine Yamhill Carlton are of astronomically high quality.
