Oregon
Wine Country
Oregon's northern latitude,
with it's long hours of summer sunshine allow the grapes to fully ripen
most of the time. The nearby Pacific Ocean provides a moderating effect
to the climate, causing a gradual ripening, encouraging complex flavors,
allowing Oregon wineries to compete with other world class wineries.
Most of Oregon's wine regions
are located in the western part of the state, between the Cascade Mountains,
and the Coastal Range. The main wine producing regions in Oregon are
the Willamette
Valley, the Umpqua
Valley, and the Rogue
River Valley. Grape varieties grown in Oregon include Chardonnay,
Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Semillon, and Cabernet
Franc.
