This 2024 Chardonnay from Walter Scott comes from the Novo Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon. Walter Scott ferments their Chardonnays in oak with native yeast, runs 100% malolactic fermentation, and ages the wines in oak. The Chardonnays are fined and filtered for more precision and polished aromatics. They aim for alcohol between 12.8% and 13.5%.
Walter Scott was launched about 8 years ago by Ken, who worked in production and distribution, and his partner, a sommelier and educator. Both kept working full time while doubling production each vintage. They now make 3,500 cases, are done growing, and left their other jobs last year. They make only Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, aiming for clean, correct wines with tension and grace that reflect each vineyard site and vintage.
