✨ Technical Specifications
Lindemans Botrytis Riesling is a luscious testament to the magic of 'noble rot' (Botrytis cinerea) in South Australia's premium cool-climate pockets. When autumn mists blanket the vineyards, this beneficial fungus pierces the grape skins, dehydrating the berries and concentrating their natural sugars, acids, and flavors. Lindemans, with its deep pioneering roots dating back to 1843, masterfully harnesses this natural phenomenon to produce a dessert wine of incredible depth. The wine undergoes a slow, cool fermentation to preserve the intense aromatic profile of apricot, candied citrus peel, and wild honey, balanced beautifully by Riesling's signature vibrant acidity that prevents the wine from feeling cloying.
🍾 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.
