Founded in 2008 by Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Walter Scott Wines has earned a legendary reputation for crafting some of America's most precise, Burgundian-style Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Operating out of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, the winery focuses on expressive, minimal-intervention winemaking that lets the region's intense volcanic soils and cool maritime winds shine. Rather than relying on estate fruit, they partner with exceptional local growers who share a commitment to organic, biodynamic, and regenerative permaculture farming practices. Their critically acclaimed lineup prominently features fruit from the Koosah Vineyard, a benchmark, high-elevation site crowning the Eola-Amity Hills at up to 1,100 feet. This windswept, steeply sloped permaculture farm subjects the vines to intense coastal forces, yielding exceptionally tense and energetic wines defined by striking acidity and a distinct crushed-rock minerality
