✨ Technical Specifications
The Lindemans St George Cabernet Sauvignon is a legendary Australian red, sourced from the iconic St George Vineyard in the heart of the Coonawarra region. First planted in the 1960s, this vineyard is situated on the world-famous 'terra rossa' strip—a shallow, iron-rich red clay soil sitting over a pure limestone base. This unique terroir, combined with a cool maritime climate, imparts a distinctive character of intense cassis, dark plum, and signature notes of eucalyptus and mint. First released in the early 1970s, St George has earned a reputation as one of Australia's benchmark single-vineyard Cabernets, celebrated for its elegant structure, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable cellaring potential.
🍾 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.
