Samuel’s Gorge Tempranillo 2022 (6 Bottles) Mclaren Vale

$250.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Tempranillo thrives in warm weather, under blue skies and without too much water, making it well suited to growing in McLaren Vale. The vines here ripen early and produce quite small, concentrated fruit. These berries when fermented slowly and carefully on the verandah of Samuel’s Gorge result in a wine that is bright, savoury and full of texture.

The 2022 vintage is currently displaying notes of strawberry seed, boysenberry and bresaola. This contrast of fruit and savoury notes carries on through onto the palate, as flavours of forest fruits entwine with wild fennel and pouch tobacco. Medium bodied, with well-integrated, velvety tannins, this wine can be enjoyed in its youth or with a bit of age behind it.

Pair this with some silver beet and ricotta ravioli, swimming in passata made with the last of the season’s sun-ripened tomatoes.

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.
