THE WINE
The 2021 Hyland Estates & Stoller Family Estate collaborative auction lot, “The Volcanic Duet,” is a 50/50 blend of Chardonnay from the wineries’ respective estate vineyards atop red, volcanic, Jory soils. The grapes that craft this unique wine are grown on 25+-year-old vines. The Jory soil imparts similar characteristics on the grapes, but the vineyard locations give each site slight nuances in the flavor profile. Precise, pure, and bright, this Chardonnay was made in collaboration by two dynamite women in the Oregon wine industry, Anne Sery and Kate Payne Brown.
THE WINERIES
Hyland Vineyard is one of Oregon's most historic and storied vineyards. Planted in 1971, the vineyard now stretches more than 185 acres among the picturesque foothills of Oregon's Coast Range. Untouched, unmoved and self-rooted, Hyland's gnarly 52-year-old vines remain entrenched in the red, volcanic, Jory soil from their bird's-eye view overlooking the McMinnville foothills.
Stoller Family Estate is a 400-acre parcel located on the southern slope of the Dundee Hills. Pioneering Oregonian and founder Bill Stoller purchased his family’s second-generation farm in 1993 with the vision of cultivating an enduring legacy for the land and Oregon wine industry. Over the last 30 years, he has patiently transformed the property into the largest contiguous vineyard in the Dundee Hills that has become synonymous with producing exceptional wines.
