WayWood Wines

WayWood Wines is the creation of UK native Andrew Wood, a former sommelier, and his Australian wife Lisa, a pharmacist by trade but culinary creative at heart. After leaving the restaurant scene to work vintages in Portugal, Italy, the UK and the Granite Belt, Andrew decided it was time to pursue his personal winemaking ambitions. The couple went searching for the perfect environment in which to create the wine styles they had enjoyed in their European travels, plus those they had talked and dreamt about. In 2004, Lisa and Andrew decided McLaren Vale was the place they’d call home. “The region’s diversity, community and history have all added new elements as we, and our wines, continue to evolve,” Andrew says. “Our wines are made with food in mind, to be enjoyed with friends and family. They are approachable in their youth but, if cellared, will truly express the fruit, vintage, region and place. “I believe that, all too often in life, we are guided by regulation or conformity when sometimes you just have to follow your gut feeling and go with the flow – that’s my philosophy on winemaking.”

Tempranillo, Monastrell, Carignan, Grenache, Shiraz, Cabernet
