Lindsay Stanley has been making award-winning wines for over 30 years in the Barossa Valley. Early in his long career, he started working with the legendary father of Penfold's Grange Hermitage, Max Schubert. Penfold's Grange is Australia's most famous and esteemed wine! You can see Schubert's influence on Lindsay's winemaking today with wines such as the "Family Tree" Shiraz and "Silent Partner" Cabernet.

After leaving Penfold’s in 1991, Lindsay started Stanley Brothers (now Stanley Lambert). Since 1991, he has produced award-winning wines that are widely distributed across Australia, Asia and Europe. In September of 2005, the wines arrived in the US and Florida.

Lindsay’s courage to commit to hands on winemaking challenges big wine producers and affords a wine enjoying experience to trust in. No shortcuts are taken. Patient maturation in oak over time, always revered but rarely fulfilled, is just one process of Lindsay’s proud winemaking approach. The Thoroughbred Cabernet Sauvignon, Nordic Frost Riesling, un-wooded pristine chardonnay, Silent Partner Cabernet Sauvignon are fine examples of honest wine, maintaining full integrity and acclaimed value.

One of Lindsay Stanley’s quotes reflects his thoughts on drinking fine, quality wine, "The moment may be temporary, but the memory is forever." To be different is more valued than sameness. Many Winemakers love to play with their "toys"—put the wine through a centrifuge, spin the solids out, push it through the earth filter, give it a bit of a polish, pass it through a pad filter, and make it squeaky clean.

At Stanley Lambert, wine sees a filter only when it’s on the way to the bottle. In this way, wines are produced with more than one dimension—wines with backbone, flavor and mouth feel.

For those of you who have met Lindsay you have enjoyed his great Australian sense of humor and his many stories from down under. Winemaking at Stanley Lambert is pure—no centrifuge to spin the solids out, no "toys" to "help" the wine and the winemaker.
