Walter Scott, Chardonnay Witness Tree, 2023 so101723 geek Eastern Europe offer The Mazy-Chambertin vineyardWitness Tree is one of the higher, cooler perches in the Eola Amity Hills, named for an old white oak that surveyors once used as a landmark, set on the volcanic Jory and Nekia soils that give the Eola Amity its cut. It sits right in the path of the Van Duzer wind corridor, where cold Pacific air funnels in each afternoon to slow ripening and lock in acidity. That's the raw material Walter Scott turns into one of Oregon's most Burgundian Chardonnays.
