✨ Technical Specifications
Lindemans Bin 85 Pinot Grigio is a contemporary, light-hearted expression belonging to the legendary Bin Series, which first captured global attention in the mid-1980s. Sourced from select vineyards across the vast, sun-drenched expanses of South Eastern Australia, this wine is crafted to embody the approachable, joy-bringing philosophy established by Dr. Henry Lindeman in 1843. To preserve its vibrant fruit character and crisp acidity, the grapes are harvested during the cool of the night and fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This modern, unoaked style emphasizes bright floral aromas, fresh pear, and zesty citrus notes, making it a quintessential representation of Australia's friendly and accessible winemaking style.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1843 by British naval surgeon Dr. Henry John Lindeman at Cawarra on the Paterson River in the Hunter Valley, Lindemans stands among Australia's oldest and most influential wine houses. Now operating under the stewardship of Treasury Wine Estates, the estate transitioned from its historic Hunter Valley roots to encompass prized viticultural holdings across Coonawarra's famed terra rossa soils, Padthaway, and the broader South Eastern Australia multi-regional sourcing corridor. Viticulturally committed to certified sustainable winegrowing and enterprise-wide carbon neutrality targets, Lindemans champions approachable fruit purity complemented by subtle oak structuring. The label achieved global renown through its ubiquitous Bin Series, pioneered by the internationally acclaimed Bin 65 Chardonnay alongside Bin 85 Pinot Grigio and Bin 50 Shiraz. At its apex, the producer crafts historic, cellar-worthy benchmarks such as the Coonawarra Trio—comprising the St George Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Limestone Ridge Shiraz Cabernet, and Pyrus—celebrating structured cool-climate Australian regionality.
