Lindeman’s Bin 70 Chardonnay Riesling 2010

By Chris and Sherry Hardie

Lindeman’s offers an impressive number of labels and blends as one of the most widely recognized Australian winemakers.

Dr. Henry J. Lindeman founded the winery in the early 1840s after he became fascinated with the medicinal benefits of wine. He moved to Australia with his new bride and planted grapes.

This Bin Series blend brings together the white grapes of chardonnay and riesling sourced from vineyards across southeastern Australia. The blend percentage varies by vintage but is generally 70 percent chardonnay. That shows in the nose and taste of the wine, which is predominantly citrus with some orchard fruit bouquet from the riesling.

Sherry: “Medium-bodied with tastes of lime and lemon.” 2-1/2 stars

Chris: “A melon and peach bouquet with flavors of lemon and a bit of peach.” 3 stars

Available locally for between $6 to $9.

Coming next week: Genesis Meritage
