Winemaker Notes
Nose: Dark berry and plummy aromas are given greater complexity by roasted meats and subtle oak undertones.
Palate: A soft and luscious new-world style Merlot with well rounded tannins and good integration of oak. The combination of ripe fruit is balanced by smooth, approachable tannins that give the wine excellent structure.
Serving and Cellaring Suggestions: Ideally consumed when young and fresh, Lindemans Bin 40 is great served with beef or pasta dishes.
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.
