Description

Sifting through the top producers in McLaren Vale can be difficult to navigate, but if you want something lo-tech and quietly exquisite, the wines of Samuel's Gorge should be on your hit list.

Winemaker Justin McNamee loves Grenache, and considers it the signature grape of their winery. It holds a special place in his heart - and when it's this good, it'll work its way into yours too.

This Grenache is a flyer. It's a power-packed wine but with the reins held tight. The high-toned aromatics of McLaren Vale set to a rugged and complex backdrop.

Made in tiny volumes and notoriously difficult to track down; wines like this are the reason why Samuel's Gorge is one of the most loved indie producers in the Vale.

Samuel's Gorge Grenache 5 STAR Wine.

Samuel's Gorge is a McLaren Vale favourite, I have enjoyed their Shiraz ( and Sparkling Shiraz ) and Tempranillo for a while but the Grenache is my new favourite. Beautiful deep red in colour, silky smooth and low in tannins, light to medium bodied with a berry scent. I am sure that it would be great with food but I was happy to savour it on it's own - extremely quaffable.

Mclaren Vale Favourite

Absolutely delicious Grenache from a Mclaren Vale favourite!

McLaren Vale is one of the world’s great Grenache growing regions. The wines made here are expressive and nuanced, with this grape being a focus of Samuel’s Gorge since its inception.

We are fortunate to source Grenache grapes from a select handful of local vineyards. Mostly dry-grown, these are established vineyards with vines of up to 80 years of age. These sites produce aromatic, flavour-filled fruit, the perfect foundations for this elegant, intricate wine.

Samuel's Gorge

Samuel’s Gorge is one of McLaren Vale’s best-kept secrets. There, in his quiet neck of the woods, owner/winemaker Justin McNamee is on a mission to build “wines that are distinctly Australian with reference to the old world for texture, complexity and harmony.”

The Samuel's Gorge wines may be scarcely available but they are highly renowned. Shiraz and Grenache are considered his forté, but he makes stellar examples of Tempranillo, Graciano, Gamay and more. Justin works with some of McLaren Vale's top vineyards, preferring to entrust the region's top growers to do what they do best, while he concentrates on crafting the wines together and greeting customers at his much-loved cellar door.

These are wines with a distinct personality and a rustic feel, from an adored cult SA producer.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
