Wine Region McLaren Vale, South Australia
Wine Maker Justin McNamee
At Samuel's Gorge Justin McNamee is looking to collate the tools and experience that he has gathered over the years to craft wines with focus, specialising in three key varietals that he thinks excel in McLaren Vale; Grenache, Shiraz and Tempranillo.
The barn from which he works was built in 1853 and is positioned on a ridge top that runs east/west on the southern lip of the Onkaparinga River National Park. Dramatic Australian wilderness greets him every morning on the way to the barn.
When you visit Samuel's Gorge tastings are hosted in what was historically an olive press house; and a blacksmith workshop before that. Visitors are encouraged to take time out and embrace the unique and beautiful surrounds. The wiines like all wine should be part of an occasion, shared with friends amongst engaging conversation and chatter.
A wine's style is steered by the soil in which the vine grows, the vintage conditions and the imagination of a winemaker.
The wines of Samuel's Gorge are driven by their texture. There is a common rustic nature supporting the fruit drive in all three wines. Justin embraces savoury elements to complement the natural richness in the wines, and works hard to ensure that all the features of the wine are all in line and ultimately present wines that are great to drink and yet have structural support to ensure that they cellar well.
The soul of Samuel's Gorge wines is an expression of place and an extension of our people.
 
What the critics think!
“After a wandering winemaking career in various parts of the world, Justin McNamee became a winemaker at Tatachilla in 1996, where he remained until 2003, leaving to found Samuel’s Gorge. He has established his winery in a barn built in 1853, part of a historic property known as the old Seaview Homestead. The property was owned by Sir Samuel Way, variously Chief Justice of South Australian Supreme Court and Lieutenant Governor of the state. The grapes come from small contract growers spread across the ever changing 9unofficial) sub regions of McLaren Vale, and are basket- pressed and fermented in old open slate fermenters lined with bees wax – an impressive results.” Winery Rating; 4 ½ stars
