The wines of Hyland Estates in Dundee, OR, provide a taste of history. Its story begins more than 40 years ago, when four families worked together to plant winegrapes in the remote eastern foothills of the Coastal Range, replete with volcanic Jory and Nekia soils. It didn’t take long until the match made in heaven between the terroir and grape was achieved: at the 1985 Burgundy Challenge in Paris, judges could not differentiate between Oregon and Burgundian Pinot Noir. In 2011, the vineyard had grown to 204 acres and Hyland Estates was born. Today, after providing award-winning grapes to Oregon’s top echelon producers for more than 40 years, Hyland Vineyard is one of Oregon’s oldest and largest vineyards.
