Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Nose: Classically restrained, complex yet fine, it displays all the hallmarks of Chardonnay with aging ability. Grapefruit and citrus aromas combine with underlying creamy barrel ferment characters and the light spice and cashew of well integrated French oak.
Palate: Powerful and intense, but never heavy, relying on fruit quality and concentration rather than excessive wine making. Melon and peach flavours combined with elements of honey and cream are wrapped in layers of fine-grained French oak and join with natural acidity for an exceptionally long finish.
Alcohol: 13.0%

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.
