Bin 40

2012 South Eastern Australia Merlot

Lindeman's Bin 40 Merlot from the 2012 vintage is an inviting red wine that showcases the best of South Eastern Australia's versatile terroir. This medium-bodied wine is beautifully balanced, delivering a smooth and approachable character suitable for a variety of occasions. With bright acidity, it brings a lively freshness that enhances the enjoyment of its ripe fruit flavors. Offering a prominent fruit intensity, the wine reveals luscious notes of blackberry and plum, intermingled with subtle hints of dark chocolate and spice. The tannins are medium in structure, adding a gentle grip that supports the wine's overall harmony without overwhelming the palate. As a dry red, it pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes or can simply be enjoyed on its own, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and special celebrations.

South Eastern Australia

Covering the entire southeastern third of the country, the South Eastern Australia designation is a vast area (over 1,200 miles long and encompassing the regions of South Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania). Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
