2001 Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz

Notes sourced from Southcorp Wines

The 2001 Lindemans Bin 50 Shiraz is a multi-region blend, with premium fruit sourced from a range of wine growing regions. Lindemans utilises the diverse topography and climate of Australia's wine regions to produce complex wines that are of consistently outstanding quality regardless of varying vintage conditions.

A beautiful spring led to flourishing growth and a warmer than average summer throughout South Australia. Shiraz responded well to the climatic conditions providing particularly ripe, expressive flavours. This was combined with the elegance of premium fruit from cooler regions, resulting in a balanced, flavour-driven wine.

Twenty-five per cent of the blend was matured for six months in a combination of French and American oak.

Vibrant purple-crimson with excellent clarity and depth of colour. A bright, expressive aroma of cherry and summer pudding is overlaid by hints of dusty spice and framed by subtle vanillin oak characters. An extremely approachable, fruit driven palate with ripe plum and sweet dark cherry alongside elements of cinnamon and spice. Careful oak treatment adds structure without overly imparting flavour and combines with fine-grained tannins for a well rounded, lingering finish. Peak drinking now to 2003
