Product Notes

Walter Scott Seven Springs Chardonnay is an exceptional wine crafted by one of Oregon's premier wineries, located in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. The wine is named after the Seven Springs Vineyard, which is one of the most renowned vineyards in the region. It is a beautiful, aromatic, and complex white wine with flavors that are at once bright and tangy, yet rich and creamy. It has a delicate mouthfeel and a full-bodied texture, with notes of apple, pear, and citrus. Its minerality is balanced by a touch of oak, resulting in a well-rounded finish. The wine can be enjoyed with a variety of meals and is sure to impress any wine enthusiast.

Tasting Notes

A wonderfully pure and clean cut nose sees crystal clear aromas of flint, roasted hazelnuts, lemon zest, lemongrass and white pear float from the glass in this excellent rendition of this iconic vineyard. On the palate those crisp roasted nut flavours are shot through with notes of lemon drop, rock salt and fine lemon cream – clear and lucid with great underlying minerality. Structurally this is very fine indeed, with beautifully measured flavours built around a juicy but cool structure.

About the Winery

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.
