Walter Scott Wines
Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon, single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills
Walter Scott Wines is a wine producer in Oregon, United States. LeMieux Wine Co. distributes Walter Scott Wines wines to licensed restaurants, bars and retailers in Michigan.
Estate
Walter Scott was founded in 2008 by Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon. Pahlow came up at Patricia Green Cellars and other Oregon estates before launching the project. The winery is named for his grandfather Walter, a TWA flight engineer, and his nephew Scott.
The work is centered on the Eola-Amity Hills, a sub-AVA of the Willamette Valley where Columbia River volcanic basalt meets cooling Pacific air through the Van Duzer Corridor.
Farming and Vinification
Single-vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from sites including La Combe Verte (named in tribute to Patricia Green), Freedom Hill, Cuvée Ruth (a Pinot Noir blend named for the parents of business partner Sue Pahlow), and Cuvée Anne (Chardonnay). Indigenous-yeast fermentations, neutral oak for Chardonnay, restrained new oak for Pinot Noir.
