Mourvèdre has long been relegated for use as a blending grape, nestled in amongst Grenache and Shiraz. By crafting this wine, as a standalone variety, we are fortunate to have the chance to properly understand and appreciate this grape’s unique personality.

These grapes are grown close to the ocean, where the rhythm of the landscape is similar to that of Mourvèdre’s original home on the Iberian Peninsula. This cooling influence allows spiced notes to develop and ensures that the Samuel’s Gorge Mourvèdre is structured and lively.

The 2021 Mourvèdre has a seriousness to it. It has aromas of rosehip, fresh morello cherry and cinnamon bark as well as undertones of smoky meats. On the palate there is plenty of Asian spice, dark chocolate and more of that fresh cherry. Medium to full bodied, structured yet supple, this wine will make you want to go in for a second sip.

Pair this with a Chinese barbeque chicken, marinated in spice and licked by flame.

About Samuel’s Gorge Wines

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.

The wines of Samuel’s Gorge are crafted by hand and reflect the landscape in which we work. We reference history for texture, complexity and harmony. We engage patient techniques, utilising indigenous yeast, ensuring our ferments are long and slow. Our winery is under the cover of a lean to and at night a ceiling of stars. Visitors to Samuel’s Gorge are welcome to see our process during harvest, in late summer.

​Driven by aromatics, texture, silkiness and intrigue our 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.
