WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Walter Scott La Combe Verte Chardonnay 2022 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes. Fermentation is initiated with ambient yeast, and the wine undergoes full malolactic conversion. It is then aged for approximately 10 months in French oak barrels, with 25% of the barrels being new. Minimal bâtonnage is employed during aging. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling. Grapes are sourced from multiple vineyards within the Willamette Valley.
