JULY 2007: AROUND THE STATE, DISPATCHES
MCMINNVILLE
The Montalieu and Niemeyer Northwest Wine Company partnership
has purchased the historic Hyland Vineyard, a 200-acre plot
long known as one of the oldest and largest vineyards in the
state. The addition allows the partnership to cover the
winemaking process from vine to table. The vineyard was listed
for $4.1 million and was purchased for an undisclosed cash
amount, according to Laurent Montalieu, winemaker and NWWC
co-founder. The Montalieus are also founders of
Soléna Cellars and plan to introduce a Soléna
Cellars “Hyland Vineyard” pinot noir this year.
