Winemaker Notes
Nose: This spicy Pinot Noir shows lifted black cherry and plum fruit characters and an attractive pipe tobacco background.
Palate: Richly flavored, this medium-bodied wine has an impressive velvety mid palate and shows great structure with firm but balanced tannins, finishing with great length.
Serving and Cellaring Suggestions: The 1998 Padthaway Pinot Noir is an appealing complex style that will offer enjoyment now but will reward careful cellaring for up to four years. Best enjoyed with veal chops, char-grilled steak or duck with rich sauces.

In 1843, Dr. Lindeman planted his first vineyard on his 330-acre property ‘Cawarra’ in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. By cellaring wines and not releasing them for sale until they had properly matured, Dr. Lindeman earned a reputation for producing wine of the highest quality. In 1973, the Lindeman’s Winery at Karadoc was built to cater for the increasing consumer demand for Lindeman’s wines around the world. Lindeman’s Bin 65 Chardonnay was first crafted for the Canadian market and launched in 1985 in response to the popularity of the Lindeman’s style of wines in the northern hemisphere.
Following its success in Canada and the United States, Lindeman’s Bin 65 was ‘brought home’ to Australia in 1991. The winemaking team of nine is spread across Victoria and South Australia. Wayne Falkenberg and his team at the Lindeman’s Karadoc Winery produce wines for the Cawarra, Bin Series and Premier Selection labels, whilst the team based in the Coonawarra produce the Reserve and Coonawarra Trio wines.
