✨ Technical Specifications
First released in 1985 to capture the hearts of international wine lovers, Lindemans Bin 65 Chardonnay quickly grew into a global phenomenon, defining the approachable, sunshine-in-a-bottle style of Australian Chardonnay. Sourced from vineyards across the sun-drenched regions of South Australia, this wine is crafted to emphasize bright fruit purity and immediate enjoyment. The winemaking process focuses on preserving the vibrant tropical fruit and stone fruit characters, utilizing stainless steel fermentation alongside a touch of oak contact to impart a subtle, creamy texture and soft vanilla undertones. It stands as a historic milestone in Australia's wine export history, bringing the friendly, fruit-forward character of South Australian Chardonnay to tables worldwide.
🍾 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.
