Peter William Vineyard: A Legacy of Passion and Expertise in Rogue Valley
Explore the unique story of Peter William Vineyard, nestled in the heart of Oregon's renowned Rogue Valley, where dedication to the craft of winemaking combines with a deep love for the art.
History and Background
Peter William Adesman, a physician with a profound passion for wine, transitioned from a consumer and collector to an educator and eventually, a winemaker. The vineyard, started in 2013 beneath his home with his wife, Dr. Robin Miller, marks a significant chapter in their lives. Peter's avocation in wine is complemented by Robin's enthusiasm, notably in marketing and her passion for dancing, which influences the vineyard's charm.
Vineyard Details and Wine Production
With its picturesque hillside location, Peter William Vineyard thrives on a careful blend of varietals adapted to the Rogue Valley's climate:
- Roussanne
- Grenache
- Syrah
- Tempranillo
- Malbec
The majority of their wines, known for reflecting the distinctive terroir, are crafted from their own fruit, although they also source grapes from local friends. Production is overseen by skilled winemakers, including:
- Eric, who specializes in Chardonnay, Grenache Rosé, Tempranillo, and Malbec.
- Nichole Schulte & Herb Quady, consulting winemakers from Barrel 42, who focus on Rhone varieties and the exclusive Extravagance Reserve.
- Scott, who crafts the highly coveted Tempranillo Lot S primarily for club members.
Collaboration is at the heart of their operations, with meticulous involvement in every step, from barrel tasting to blending sessions.
