ABOUT US:
First planted in 1971 by four families working together, Hyland is one of Oregon's oldest, largest, and most incredible vineyards.
Hyland is just over 180 acres of volcanic Jory and Nekia soils in the McMinnville AVA. It is planted with 47-year-old, self-rooted Pommard, Wädenswil, and Coury Pinot Noir; together with the newer plantings of a number of Dijon clones provides unique blending options from this site.
Launched in 2011, Hyland Estates showcases highly regarded Pinot Noirs, as well as Chardonnay, Riesling and Gewürztraminer - the last two varietals being sourced from the oldest, self-rooted blocks in the vineyard. NW Wine Company is continuing the tradition of beautiful, high-scoring wines with their own unique sense of place.
