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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1843 by Dr. Henry Lindeman in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales, Lindemans is one of Australia's oldest and most pioneering wine estates. Dr. Lindeman initially planted his first vines at his 'Cawarra' property, establishing a philosophy of crafting approachable, high-quality wines designed to bring joy to everyday life. Over the generations, the winery expanded its footprint into South Australia's premium cool-climate regions, most notably Coonawarra, where it produces iconic, structured reds like the Limestone Ridge Shiraz Cabernet and St George Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Lindemans is celebrated globally for both its historic, cellar-worthy single-vineyard releases and its highly popular, fruit-forward Bin Series, maintaining a legacy of quality and accessibility.
