Gran Moraine

Chardonnay is the soul of the house. At Gran Moraine, the day begins and ends with Chardonnay — no other grape offers such versatility and vibrant acidity to build structure.

Winemaking:
“They say I pick early. I say they pick late.”
Shane Moore’s approach in both vineyard and cellar allows the Gran Moraine terroir to speak clearly: early harvests, long native fermentations for complexity, gentle extraction, and judicious oak use for precision.

The result? Wines with clean, vibrant energy, firm and juicy tannins, and an aromatic profile marked by citrus, intense floral notes, and herbs de Provence.

Gran Moraine

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.
