Located in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, within the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Gran Moraine is a benchmark producer of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, known for wines with strong identity, shaped by terroir and creative boldness. Here, tradition and precision meet a free-spirited, innovative approach.
Winemaker Shane Moore brings with him the discipline of military-run cellars where he trained, along with a constant drive for experimentation. The winery hums with ambient music 24/7 — creating a space where creativity thrives.
At Gran Moraine, there are no fixed recipes: long native fermentations, natural vinification, extended aging, even hand-painted amphorae. Many wines never reach the market — they are part of an ongoing journey of discovery.
The vineyards are nestled on the slopes of the Coast Range, in a rain shadow zone protected from the Pacific’s wet winds. This mosaic of small Chardonnay and Pinot Noir parcels truly reflects the soil’s freshness and minerality, resulting in wines with a unique signature — mouthwatering acidity, juicy fruit, perfect balance between tension and pleasure, and remarkable elegance.
Gran Moraine stands for vibrant, sophisticated wines full of character — true expressions of one of North America’s most compelling terroirs.
A company of the Jackson Family Wines group.
