LINDEMANS
Founded in the Hunter Valley in 1843 by Dr John Henry Lindeman, Lindemans has become a fast growing international brand synonymous with quality. The vast and meticulously maintained Padthaway vineyards, approximately 90 km north of Coonawarra were pioneered in 1968 to become one of the largest and most awarded vineyards in Australia. The Coonawarra holdings were developed in the 1960's, now comprising two of the most enviable single vineyards of St. George (12 hectares) and Limestone Ridge (20 hectares).

Each year parcels of the finest wines produced by Lindemans in the Hunter Valley, NSW; Padthaway and Coonawarra, SA, are selected for extended cellaring under impeccable conditions.
