✨ Technical Specifications
Lindemans Bin 40 Merlot is a cornerstone of the globally recognized Bin Series, a collection designed to bring reliable, fruit-forward, and approachable wines to tables around the world. Drawing grapes from across the vast South Eastern Australia geographic indication, Lindemans winemakers masterfully blend fruit from diverse vineyards to ensure a consistent, soft, and generous profile in every vintage. This multi-regional blending philosophy, pioneered in Australia, allows the winemakers to mitigate vintage variation and craft a Merlot defined by its luscious plum, dark cherry, and gentle spice notes. The Bin Series itself carries the legacy of Dr. Henry Lindeman's original 1843 philosophy of making wine that simply brings joy to everyday life, offering a smooth, easy-drinking red that has introduced millions of wine lovers to the friendly character of Australian viticulture.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by English naval surgeon Dr. Henry Lindeman at his Cawarra property in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Lindeman's has grown into one of Australia's most enduring and globally recognized wine brands. Now under the stewardship of Treasury Wine Estates, the house has expanded its viticultural footprint across premier Australian terroirs, establishing renowned holdings in regions such as Coonawarra, South Australia. Guided by a winemaking philosophy that champions accessibility, varietal purity, and consistency, the estate gained international acclaim through its accessible Bin Series—spearheaded by the iconic Bin 65 Chardonnay—alongside prestigious, cellar-worthy expressions like the celebrated Coonawarra Trio featuring St George Cabernet Sauvignon and Limestone Ridge Shiraz Cabernet.
