Gran Moraine
The name Gran Moraine comes from the catastrophic floods and movements of glaciers in northern Willamette Valley, Oregon during the last ice age. They leave behind dry rivers of stones, like the Côte-d’Or in Burgundy (and the Morenas of Vitosha, which are much larger). Nearly 90 hectares in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA (American Viticultural Area) are planted with the classic Burgundy varieties Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This area was classified in 2004 to mark the site with the oldest marine sediment-based soils in the entire Willamette Valley. Together with the climate, they create conditions for making wines with a specific and different profile from that of the neighboring regions. These are Oregon wines in the tradition and spirit of classic Burgundy.

Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
