Samuel’s Gorge should be on your detour list for any visit to McClaren Vale. Only producing red wines this boutique winery makes some of the best we’ve tasted – and as you know, we ‘taste’ a lot, so that’s no light statement. Justin McNamee and team are behind the beauties and their Icon Wines – blends of Grenache, Mourvedre and Shiraz, and Tempranillo and Grenache – are some of the finest in the region. I fell in love however with the juicy mouthful of fruit found in the smooth, palate enchanting Shiraz. Wines, views, rustic set up and some great characters all make Samuel’s Gorge a “must visit” in South Australia.
