Walter Scott Chardonnay 'La Combe Verte' Willamette Valley 2023 Size:750ml tunneling fruit accented by savoryThe white wines at Walter Scott are all whole cluster pressed and after settling go straight to barrel with substantial lees. Everything is barrel fermented with indigenous yeast. The range of new oak barrels is around 40%. The wines are stirred minimally and 100% malo is achieved. The wines remain aging in barrel for 11 months before finishing in stainless steel. The youngest vines of all the Chardonnay sites Ken and Erica work with go into this.
