Lindemans

Lindeman's have a rich history dating back to 1843 when Dr Lindeman planted the first vines on his 816-acre property 'Cawarra' in the Hunter Valley.

He planted riesling, verdelho and shiraz grapevines and set about building a cottage, a winery and a cellar to age his wines until they were ready for release.

As the decades passed, the Lindeman's family continued to look for opportunities to invest in prime vineyards in the hunter valley region like the Ben Ean property (where a cellar door is located) and also expanded in to the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, Padthaway, Clare Valley and Corowa

In 1965, Lindeman's winemaker Karl Stockhausen crafted two wines that went on to generate a cult-following in subsequent decades. These were the 1965 Lindeman's Hunter River Burgundy Bin 3100 and 1965 Lindeman's Hunter River Burgundy 3110. These wines remain highly sought after by leading wine critics, such as James Halliday who has said they'll age to 100 years if carefully cellared and re-corked.
