Collection: Samuel's Gorge

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. The 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 the storyboard within the tiles. Samuel's Gorge focus on five key varietals; Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Graciano and Tempranillo.

The wines of Samuel's Gorge are crafted by hand and reflect the landscape in which they work, referencing history for texture, complexity and harmony, engaging patient techniques, utilising indigenous yeast, ensuring our ferments are long and slow. The winery is under the cover of a lean to and at night a ceiling of stars. 

Driven by aromatics, texture, silkiness and intrigue the wines are great to drink now and yet have structural support and intensity that ensures they cellar well. Samuel's Gorge wines reflect the unique vintage conditions and represent the personality and the imagination of the makers.
