Tasting Notes
Named after the Wood vineyard owners' dog, Alfred, who passed away in 2012. This wine captures the mineral intensity of the Wood vineyard and is sourced from the slope of the east facing Wood vineyard. Deep purple fruits, tightly wound into a core of sinewy spice. Amazing florals. - Winery Note
James Erskine is a man with genuine passion for his wines and while that may not be unique in the wine world, James is one of the more uniquely creative people in the wine world that you are ever likely to meet. The grapes for this wine come from the Wood Vineyard planted by Ralph Wood in 1988 along the Clarendon Ridge in South Australia skirting the boundary of Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale. All the vines are grown organically without the use of additional water and remain on their original root-stock planted on sandy red-grey over ironstone bedrock.
