Lindemans wines promise more than the partnering of quality grapes and craftsmanship. Every wine also contains the spirit and passion of our founder - Dr Henry J Lindeman.

The Lindemans Reserve Wines are created with the goal of making the best possible wines that reflect the quality of the regions from which they are sourced. These wines are expressive, both varietally and regionally and give the discerning consumer a profound drinking experience without overshadowing the food or the occasion.

The resources of Lindemans and the passion of its skilled winemaking team, headed by Greg Clayfield, ensure that these wines are of consistently outstanding quality and offer consumers excellent value for money.

Wine maker notes

Regional Source: 78% Padthaway 12% Robe 10% Limestone Coast (Coonawarra, Bordertown, Wrattonbully). Vintage Conditions: After a mild winter with regular rainfall a cool spring was followed by an equally cool summer. The low temperatures led to uneven flowering, bud burst and eventually low yields. The lack of hot temperatures allowed the grapes to gain ripeness slowly without stress. A late, warm autumn ensured a small crop of intensely flavoured fruit has harvested with excellent natural acidity and aromatics. Grape Variety: Chardonnay Maturation: The Reserve Chardonnay was fermented in 15% new and 85% one year old French Oak. It was then matured on yeast lees for a further 6 months.
