The story behind Moraine
Moraine is a family estate on the Naramata Bench, above Okanagan Lake near Penticton. Oleg and Svetlana Aristarkhov, who came to Canada from Europe, settled here and released their first Pinot Noir in 2012.
The name comes from the ground itself, the glacial moraine soils of boulder and clay that the Bench is built on. The family named its vineyards after their daughters.
Cool-climate Pinot and Riesling
The Naramata Bench is prime cool-climate country, and Moraine leans into it with Pinot Noir and Riesling at the core. There are single-vineyard bottlings, including a Pinot Noir off the Sophia Vineyard.
Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and some Bordeaux reds fill out the range. A Moraine Pinot Noir took gold at the 2023 National Wine Awards of Canada.
