Ackley Beverage Group, a family investment company, said its Montinore Estate wine brand will now be distributed in Oregon and Washington by Young’s Market Co., a premier distributor of wines, spirits and select beverages in the western United States.
“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Young’s Market Company,” said Brandon Ackley, president of Ackley Beverage Group. “Their commitment to family-owned wineries, integrity, quality and entrepreneurship aligns perfectly with the values of Ackley Beverage Group. We look forward to a long partnership to bring our exceptional wines to more consumers in the Northwest.”
Montinore Estate will be distributed through The Estates Group, the fine wine division of Young’s Market Company, which is dedicated to bringing the world’s finest wines and their stories to customers.
“Ackley Beverage Group and Montinore Estate’s commitment to crafting excellent wine and their demonstrated success across the nation makes them a great partner for us,” said Michael Ewing, Vice President of Sales, The Estates Group at Young’s Market Company. “We’re excited to bring their growing collection of wine brands to our customers.”
Over the past three years, Ackley Beverage Group has continued to prove its prowess in the industry. With its financial and professional capital, the company has helped Montinore Estate increase production by over 50% to meet national demand.
In addition to Montinore Estate, Ackley Beverage Group will be launching a new luxury wine brand, Landlines Estates, later this year.
The company currently has over 200 acres of biodynamically farmed vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and purchased an additional 177 acres in Yamhill–Carlton last year. It will be home to a new state-of-the-art production facility, 100-acre vineyard and multiple tasting rooms.
The investment company continues to build its portfolio of brands and is actively seeking opportunities for winery acquisitions in Washington and Oregon.
