Our Winemakers

In every bottle of Lindeman's wine you'll find the spirit of our founder, Henry Lindeman, who believed that "the one purpose of wine is to bring happiness". To this day Lindeman's Winemakers are constantly motivated by this philosophy. Led by Wayne Falkenberg, Chief Winemaker for Lindeman's, they are trusted with the task of bringing great Lindeman's wines to life. Every single bottle of Lindeman's is evidence of our master craftsmen's unique abilities.

"Not everybody knows this but wines like Lindeman's crafted for everyday enjoyment are quite a challenge to create. This is because you need to reliably produce wines that are instantly recognisable year in year out - but there's no way Mother Nature gives you the same ingredients every year... she likes to keep us on our toes. Every vintage we use the highest quality fruit from multiple regions and use selective blending and lots of passion to produce high quality wines that are distinctively Lindeman's".

- Wayne Falkenberg, CHIEF WINEMAKER

We asked our Winemakers a few questions to see if we could persuade them to share the secrets of what makes Lindeman's one of the world's favourite wine brands, and what makes Lindeman's so special to them personally.

"Take time out to enjoy the little things, such as a glass (or bottle) of Lindeman's wine with family and friends ... recognise what is most important in life".

"... that is what wine is for, to enjoy and to create special occasions and to make those moments memorable".
