Founded by Dr. Henry Lindeman in the Hunter Valley in 1843, Lindeman’s has been receiving critical acclaim for over 100 years. Though this producer has a full portfolio of wines, it is best known for its bin series.

Wayne Falkenberg is the leading winemaker at Lindeman’s, the son of grape growers in the Barossa Valley. In 1974, Wayne enrolled at Roseworthy Agricultural College in South Australia and completed his Diploma in Oenology. Two years later he embarked on his career with Lindeman’s.

The goal is to make wines that are enjoyable and consistent, in spite of the vagaries of the weather. While some winemakers aspire to craft the best and most expensive wines, the real challenge for Wayne is to produce a great wine that will be enjoyed by millions around the world, every day.

Wayne shares a deep knowledge of Lindeman’s winemaking history and heritage, a perspective of longevity and consistency and knack for ensuring that Lindeman’s stays true to its wine style, while remaining innovative and responding to the changing tastes of consumers world-wide.
