Walter Scott 'La Combe Verte' Chardonnay Willamette Valley, 2023

This wine presents a beautiful and layered aromatic profile, starting with the bright and fresh notes of lemon zest, followed by the crisp sweetness of Honeycrisp apple. The presence of delicate white flowers adds a touch of elegance and floral complexity. On the finish, there’s a subtle yet distinct minerality paired with a saline character, creating a sense of depth and texture. The wine captures the essence of its volcanic Eola-Amity Hills terroir, alongside the concentrated intensity of old vines from Hyland Vineyard. The marine sedimentary influence from Freedom Hill brings a unique power and structure to the wine. With only 1,000 cases made, this wine feels special and refined, showcasing a balance of elegance and strength from its diverse vineyard sources. This wine will pair perfectly with roast chicken, crab and butter gnocchi, and aged cheeses.
