About the winery · Elouan ›
Elouan is an Oregon-focused wine brand whose name means 'good light,' a reference to Oregon's cool but sunny growing season. The producer frames the wines around Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from multiple Oregon terrains, aiming for bold fruit, depth and vibrancy while retaining acidity. The current website lists Stoller Wine Group in Dayton, Oregon as the contact organization for Elouan. The Pinot Noir is positioned as an Oregon blend rather than a single-vineyard or Reserve bottling.
