Founded in 1999 by Dr. Brian Freeman, a former head of wine science at Charles Sturt University. Brian transitioned from academia to winemaking, bringing deep viticultural expertise to the Hilltops region. Situated in Prunevale, Hilltops, at 560 metres above sea level, the vineyard benefits from cool nights and sunny days during ripening, deep granite soils mixed with red silt, sand from central Australia and well-drained terrain, ideal for growing high-quality grapes.\r\n\r\nFreeman Vineyards is Australia’s only producer of the northern Italian grape varieties Rondinella and Corvina, used in their flagship Secco. Other Italian varietals include Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Aleatico, Prosecco, Fiano, Pinot Grigio, and an obscure varietal for Australia, Furmint. Their priority is well crafted wines with a focus on textural complexity, balance, and food-friendliness.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n100% single vineyard estate grown Fiano grapes, this is the first commercial vintage of Freeman Fiano a white variety that originates from Campania, southern Italy and said to date back to Roman times. In the Hilltops this relatively new alternative variety produces an aromatic dry white wine. The 2022 season started with a cool spring and later the warm dry autumn nurtured fully ripe grapes, which were crushed then cold soaked for a few days before gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel, before brief ageing in a mix of new and old oak hogsheads prior to bottling.","brand":"Artisan Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966808551493,"sku":"FRE23FNO","price":32.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8644\/4357\/files\/fd14eb79-FRE23FNO_Fixed.png?v=1777951266"}],"url":"https:\/\/artisanwine.com.au\/collections\/fiano.oembed","provider":"Artisan Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
