Product Notes

Walter Scott Cuvée Anne Chardonnay is an elegant and graceful wine that offers an excellent balance of flavour and texture. It is named after the winery's co-founder, and is crafted from a careful selection of fruit from three distinct vineyards in the Willamette Valley. This wine shows a light golden colour and delivers delicate aromas of green apple, honey, and lemon zest. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with a subtle hint of oak and a smooth finish. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes, creamy pasta, and roasted chicken. Overall, this award-winning wine is a must-try for any Chardonnay enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

Our Cuvée Anne Chardonnay is a barrel selection from our best Chardonnay sites Justice, Koosah, Seven Springs, Sojeau and X Novo Vineyards. It is a blend that represents our vision of Willamette Valley Chardonnay through the lens of the Eola-Amity Hills. This wine boasts clarity and precision, leading with savory aromas of mandarine zest, yellow & white peach, layered with floral notes of honeysuckle, lemon myrtle, orange blossom, and a hint of oyster shell. The palate is intricately layered with freshness at the forefront, followed by a focused acidity.

About the Winery

Walter Scott

Walter Scott started as a joint venture of the couple, Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon. They established the winery in Willamette Valley of Oregon in 2008, marking the launch and initiation of their dreams. The concept of a unique label had resided within Ken for years before the founding of Walter Scott. However, he could not realise it until Erica convinced him to chase his aspirations. In 2008 spring, the wife and husband team emptied their insubstantial retirement accounts. They used the money as funds to establish the winery and grow it today’s level. 

The winery’s name honours the two men Ken respected and admired significantly. Walter was Ken’s grandfather, a flight engineer who worked for Trans World Airlines. Walter was an adventurous and dynamic individual who strived his best to make his dreams a reality. He was the one who taught Ken about the absence of limitations when an individual sets their mind to do something. On the other hand, the Scott part of the winery’s name came from Ken’s nephew. Although Ken spent a short while in life, he lived it fearlessly, never shielding away from anything. Scott’s departure from this world taught Ken about the significance of our short lives and the importance of seizing every opportunity. 

Today, Walter Scott operates with the philosophy of developing a reliable connection with the terroir, workers, and grapes. The winery works with a passion for clonal diversity, expressive microclimate, and old vines. The vineyards remain located primarily in the sub-appellation of Eola-Amity in Willamette Valley. The region provides numerous beneficial aspects and factors that enhance the growth and quality of the grown grapevines and produced wines. Walter Scott remains devoted to dry farming and prevents the use of fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides to maintain the superior standard of their products.
