Samuel's Gorge is a mosaic of dreams, with a principal philosophy of people and place. Samuel's Gorge was established by winemaker Justin McNamee in 2003. Housed in an 1853 built farm shed, the winery and cellar door sits atop a ridge. Our winery overlooks the spectacular Onkaparinga River National Park to the North, and to the South, the ocean.
The Samuel's Gorge label is an impression of the rugged landscape that is viewed from the winery; look closer and see our storyboard within the tiles. At Samuel's Gorge we focus on five key varietals; Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Graciano and Tempranillo.
Review:
94 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front - Boysenberry, a sort of glacé cherry and rose oil perfume, dark chocolate and black olives. It’s full bodied, with ripe cherry and chocolate, but offers a distinct earthy and savoury flavour too, with ripe grainy tannin pushing it along, well-settled acidity, and a long plump finish. Very good, and interesting too.
