Bin 40 Merlot

The history of Lindemans wines began in 1843, when Dr Henry Lindeman presented the first wines under his name. True to Henry Lindeman’s philosophy, only the best grapes from special vineyards are selected for Lindemans wines. This results in award-winning wines year after year.

Merlot is an early-ripening grape, but nevertheless plays a major role in Australian viticulture and is one of the country’s most important grape varieties. Wine-growing in Australia is mainly in the southern and coastal part of the country, where the climate is comparatively mild. An average summer temperature of 20 °C provides a solid basis for viticulture, although the vines have to contend with occasional periods of low rainfall. The foundation for this Merlot from south-east Australia consists of healthy, fully ripe grapes from low-yielding vineyards, carefully selected by Lindemans winemakers.
