History

Henry Lindeman was born in 1811 in Egham, Surrey England. A graduate of London's famous St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College. He discovered winemaking while traveling through Europe in the late 1830s.

 

In 1840, Dr Lindeman and his new wife Eliza Bramball set off on a voyage to start a new life in Australia.

In 1843, Dr Lindeman planted the first vines on his 816-acre property 'Cawarra' deep in the Hunter Valley. There in the rich soils of the Paterson River flats, he planted Riesling, Verdelho and Shiraz grapewines an set about building a cottage, a winery and a cellar to age his wines until they were ready for release.

In 1850, with seven years of winemaking under his belt and barely a drop consumed, Dr Lindeman's cellar was set on fire by an arsonist and destroyed. Not to be deterred from his passion of winemaking, he is believed to have set out to nearby gold mines to work as a doctor, recover his fortune and in 1853 was able to successfully rebuild his wine business.

In 1858, Lindeman's exported its first wine, introducing the Lindeman's Cawarra Claret to the UK.

By 1862, Lindeman's wines were being exhibited widely around the world. It was also in 1982 that Lindeman's Cawarra gained international recognition at the International Exhibition, London. The accolades and awards that continued to follow founded Lindeman's now global renown.

 

 

By the 1860s, Dr Lindeman was an advocate of sourcing the best fruit from neighbouring vineyards. And in time. Other wine growing regions. The cross-regional sourcing helped to meet increasing demand and consistently deliver high quality wines regardless of vintage challenges, regional variation and the changing tastes of consumers.

On 23 May 1881, aged 70, Dr Lindeman sadly passed away at the Cawarra homestead. His sons continued the family business: Charles as manager, Arthur as winemaker and Henry as wine taster. From then, the business was fully in the care of the Lindeman sons and continued to flourish.

Vineyards

Lindeman’s is a story of 170 years of continued entrepreneurship anchored in the Hunter Valley under the Australian sun. Lindeman’s remarkable global popularity has been driven by the simple and personal philosophy of Dr Henry Lindeman, who planted the first Lindeman’s vines in the Hunter Valley in 1843.

 

Perfect for everyday moments, yet equally worthy of an occasion, Lindeman’s immensely popular wines are approachable and accessible, with an unfailing record of consistent quality and timeless appeal.

From wines for everyday embodied by the iconic Bins Series, to innovations such as the Lindeman’s Early Harvest and the regionally distinct wines of Coonawarra and Hunter Valley, Lindeman’s epitomises a positive outlook.

 

The brightness and vitality that comes from 1000 hours of sunshine in every drop of Lindeman’s is worth sharing. Lindeman’s wines are made to be opened, enjoyed with generosity and inspire connection with friends and family, whether it’s unwinding at the end of a busy day, taking a moment to appreciate the small things or simply looking on the bright side of life.

Inside information

Lindeman’s wines contain the spirit and passion of its founder, Dr. Henry J. Lindeman, whose philosophy was to craft wines for everyday enjoyment.

 

In 1843, Dr. Lindeman planted his first vineyard on his 330-acre property ‘Cawarra’ in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. One hundred years later, the Lindeman’s Wine Company became a public listed company.

By cellaring wines and not releasing them for sale until they had properly matured, Dr. Lindeman earned a reputation for producing wine of the highest quality. In 1973, the Lindeman’s Winery at Karadoc was built to cater for the increasing consumer demand for Lindeman’s wines around the world.

Lindeman’s Bin 65 Chardonnay was first crafted for the Canadian market and launched in 1985 in response to the popularity of the Lindeman’s style of wines in the northern hemisphere. Following its success in Canada and the United States, Lindeman’s Bin 65 was ‘brought home’ to Australia in 1991.

The winemaking team of nine is spread across Victoria and South Australia. Wayne Falkenberg and his team at the Lindeman’s Karadoc Winery produce wines for the Cawarra, Bin Series and Premier Selection labels, whilst the team based in the Coonawarra produce the Reserve and Coonawarra Trio wines.
