Winemaker

Lawrence Buhler
Peller Estates Winery

Born in Kingston, Ontario, Lawrence spent many of his childhood years living overseas, and his father's passion for wine drew his family to visit many great wine regions of the world. After moving back to Canada, Lawrence pursued wine and winemaking as a hobby while he studied Chemical Engineering. His passion for wine continued to grow and in 1999, he entered the CCOVI wine program and graduated in 2002.

He joined Peller Estates in April 2003 as an Assistant Winemaker to Rob Summers, and in the summer of 2005, was handed the coveted position of Peller Estates Winemaker.

Lawrence is guided by his palate, tasting his wines constantly with Winery Chef Jason Parsons in the kitchen and vineyard. He is inspired to create wines that marry perfectly with Chef's dishes; wines that are well-balanced, with the perfect freshness, acidity and structure for the table.
