Perched in the heart of the McMinnville AVA, the historic Hyland Vineyard boasts a storied legacy. First planted in 1971, this expansive site now stretches over 200 acres, with a remarkable 185 acres under vine. As one of Oregon’s oldest and largest vineyards, Hyland stands gracefully on a south-facing bench in the foothills of the coastal mountains.
The vineyard's location in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range at the mouth of the Van Duzer Corridor brings a unique microclimate, offering cooler summers and warmer winters. This extends the ripening period, fostering elegantly uniform ripening. Walter Scott sources Chardonnay from a single block of own-rooted 108 clones planted in 1979 on volcanic Jory soil, capturing the essence of Hyland's exceptional terroir.
Hyland Chardonnay greets the nose with an inviting medley of Meyer lemon, orange blossom, and fresh chamomile. It delivers a lush concentration of a juicy, grilled peach on the palate. Notes of tangy clementine add vibrancy, leading to a dynamic, zesty finish that lingers with a refreshing whisper of Pacific salinity.
