TRIPWIRE WINERY
A vineyard and winery, the first to grow Zweigelt, an Austrian varietal in Walla Walla Washington.
ABOUT
Heather Scott is a wine grower, wine maker, sommelier and business executive.
Her path to wine hasn't been a direct one. But it has been a great adventure.
"I looked into going into wine in my twenties before Oregon became a wine destination. Over time my career path in advertising and media formed connections to brands like Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, educating enology and viticulture students at WWCC and various tasting room jobs from dishwasher to server. The journey continues in 2023 earning my first Master Court of Sommelier Certification."
NEW RELEASES
2021 Zweigelt
This wine smacks of a summer day with nowhere to be. It's tart, bright red fruit and white peppery notes vinified in neutral oak present a sip sort of vibe. Made of 90% Zweigelt and 5% Grenache.
2021 Rose
Embracing life's challenges. This blushy rose de saignee is dry, rich and fruit forward with strawberry and cantaloupe great for summer dinners. Serve chilled and with friends.
"Enjoying wine" is a beautiful way of living, and perhaps one that is just as extraordinary as finding it."
