Located in the heart of the Yamhill-Carlton AVA in the Willamette Valley, Gran Moraine takes its name from the glacier movements in the last ice age, the Missoula Floods deposited glacial sediment (moraines) in the northern Willamette Valley. Tucked into a rain shadow in the foothills of the coastal range, Gran Moraine Vineyard produces Pinot Noirs with outstanding juiciness and zesty acidity.
