ADELSHEIM VINEYARDS
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Pioneering Pinot Noir from Oregon’s Willamette Valley
Adelsheim is one of the founding producers of Oregon wine, crafting elegant, cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the heart of the Willamette Valley. Since 1971, the winery has championed sustainable farming, thoughtful vineyard selection, and a style built on balance, finesse, and purity.
Working with some of the region’s most expressive hillside sites — many estate-farmed and LIVE certified — Adelsheim focuses on wines that capture the Willamette Valley’s hallmark traits: red-fruit brightness, fine tannins, natural acidity, and quiet complexity. Their single-vineyard bottlings showcase the nuance of Chehalem Mountains terroir, while their core range offers exceptional consistency and drinkability.
In the cellar, the approach is restrained: gentle extraction, minimal new oak, and a commitment to letting each site speak. The result is a portfolio that appeals to both Burgundy lovers and New World drinkers — wines that are polished, age-worthy, and unmistakably Oregon.
For customers looking for benchmarks of Willamette Valley Pinot, with a long track record of quality and a reputation built on integrity, Adelsheim delivers classic, refined expressions that never go out of style.
This is a lithe, lighter-bodied Pinot Noir with aromas of ripe boysenberries, a cup of rich, black Indonesian coffee and earthy oregano. Tart red raspberries and icy lemon granita flavours give almost as many goosebumps as the wine's positively rejuvenating acidity. This tiny dancer has some kick.
