2024 Samuel's Gorge Grenache

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.
