✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the cool-climate Coonawarra region of South Australia, Lindemans Limestone Ridge is a legendary expression of the classic Australian Shiraz-Cabernet blend. The wine takes its name from the unique geological formation of the Limestone Ridge vineyard, first planted in 1965, where a thin capping of rich, red terra rossa soil sits directly atop a deep bed of ancient limestone. This distinctive terroir imparts a signature mineral drive and elegant structure to the wine. Historically, this bottling has represented the pinnacle of Coonawarra's blending tradition, marrying the plush, spicy black fruit of Shiraz with the structured, mint-infused cassis character of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in a combination of French and American oak, it is celebrated for its seamless balance, complexity, and remarkable longevity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Lindeman's blev grundlagt i 1843 af den engelske flådelæge Dr. Henry Lindeman på hans Cawarra-ejendom i Hunter Valley, New South Wales, og har siden udviklet sig til et af Australiens mest traditionsrige og globalt anerkendte vinhuse. I dag drives vinhuset under ledelse af Treasury Wine Estates, og dets vinmarker spænder over flere af Australiens bedste terroirs med fremtrædende parceller i berømte regioner som Coonawarra i South Australia. Vinhusets filosofi bygger på tilgængelighed, druetypisk renhed og kompromisløs konsistens. Lindeman's opnåede stor international anerkendelse med sin populære Bin Series – anført af den ikoniske Bin 65 Chardonnay – sideløbende med prestigefulde, gemmeværdige vine som den berømte Coonawarra Trio, der blandt andet tæller St George Cabernet Sauvignon og Limestone Ridge Shiraz Cabernet.
