✨ Technical Specifications
Lindemans River Burgundy Bin 3110 is a legendary name in the annals of Australian wine history, representing the golden era of New South Wales dry reds. Historically, Australian winemakers used European regional names to describe style rather than grape variety; Burgundy in this context denoted a medium-bodied, savory, and complex red wine, predominantly crafted from Hunter Valley Shiraz and occasionally blended with Pinot Noir. Sourced from historic vineyards along the river flats of New South Wales, Bin 3110 is celebrated for its remarkable longevity, developing complex notes of leather, damp earth, forest floor, and sweet spice over decades of cellaring. It stands as a monument to the traditional, elegant winemaking techniques of mid-20th century Australia, showcasing a lighter, more savory side of Australian Shiraz.
🍾 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.
