The Lindemans Coonawarra trio is a culmination of over 150 years of winemaking experience. Three landmark wines crafted in a traditional style that remains faithful to Dr Henry J Lindemans impeccable winemaking principles. Individually each wine is a distinguished example of its particular varietal, while collectively they are a unique range which illustrates the capabilities of Coonawarra for producing some of Australia`s greatest red wine styles. The Lindemans Limestone Ridge Vineyard Coonawarra Shiraz Cabernet is sourced from 35 year old vines on the acclaimed 24 hectare Limestone Ridge Vineyard, named because it is located directly above a ridge of Limestone which forms the `backbone` of Coonawarra`s famous Terra Rossa strip. The soil depth is particularly shallow over the Limestone base and results in an exceptionally well drained, low yielding vineyard. The resulting wine is a Coonawarra classic, with rich, peppery fruit, superb structure and exceptional ageing qualities.

Wine maker notes

After a dry winter, good September rains helped to ensure a successful fruit set. The summer was in the main warm and dry before autumn brought cooler weather and relieving rains. Vintage was conducted in good conditions two weeks early. Low yields and the prevailing vintage conditions resulted in grapes with tight structure, particularly intense flavours and pronounced but fine tannins.

Food pairing

Ideal now with rich dishes such as seared beef, venison and aged cheese.
