Hyland vineyard has been a part of the Willamette Valley since 1971. You can’t talk about the origins of Oregon winemaking without mentioning the gentle giant overlooking the Van Duzer corridor. Untouched, unmoved and self-rooted, Hyland’s gnarly 51-year old vines remain entrenched in red volcanic Jory soil. They’ve been there since the beginning, watching as new neighbors have moved in and planted their own vineyards.

Hyland’s 50th vintage is quickly gaining momentum as one of the best vintages ever for many winemakers across the Willamette Valley. The 2021 growing season played out nearly perfect for Hyland Vineyard, being an acid-driven growing site. June brought record-high temperatures across Oregon that were worrisome in the moment, but balance quickly returned for the rest of the Summer and by September returned to typical cool-climate temperatures. The cool night air allowed the grapes to finish ripening slowly, preserving bright acidity and balancing sugars.
