Vintage Report

The 2019 vintage in Willamette Valley has been rated as excellent with a score of 93. The wines are characterized by a youthful profile and a good structure for further aging.

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.

A fantastic Chardonnay from Gran Moraine

After the harvest, Gran Moraine's talented winemaker gets to work. After vinification, some of the precious juice is aged for a full 16 months in French oak. A portion is aged in stainless steel to emphasize the freshness of this Gran Moraine. After this phenomenal process, the enjoyment can begin. Your senses will be in overdrive as soon as the cork pops on Gran Moraine Yamhill Carlton. This is a white wine that constantly surprises you with new aromas. You'll taste fruit, such as peach, apple, and melon. You'll smell floral notes like daffodils and blossom. The rich oak aging is also clearly evident. Creamy, robust, and bursting with vanilla. We can only say that this is a top-notch American wine!
