ABOUT THIS WINE
Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot Noir 2022 originates from the Willamette Valley, Oregon, a product of Walter Scott Wines. This wine is primarily composed of Pinot Noir, with grapes sourced from a blend of volcanic vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills and marine sedimentary soils from Freedom Hill Vineyard. The winemaking philosophy centers on transparency and site expression. The name 'La Combe Verte' is a nod to the Willamette Valley's landscapes and the encouragement the producers received from fellow winemakers in their early days.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Walter Scott La Combe Verte Pinot Noir 2022 is produced using 98% Pinot Noir grapes. Fermentation is carried out using ambient yeast, and the wine undergoes a complete malolactic conversion. It is then aged for 10 months in 228-liter French oak barrels, with 25% of the barrels being new. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Farming practices employed by the producer and their growers are organic, with some integrating biodynamic and regenerative methods.
