Freeman Prosecco Altura Vineyard 2023

A white gold colour with gentle citrus highlights Freeman Prosecco displays a persistent fine dry, creamy effervescence and classic sherbet and pear aromas. Soft and yet sprightly on the palate with flavours of crunchy pear complemented by a smidge of creamy yeast complexity and delicate acidity, it refreshes to the very last sip.

This delicate dry lightly effervescent wine brims with true Italian personality.

Ripe grapes are gently pressed prior to the initial fermentation in stainless steel vats. A portion is barrel fermented and lees stirred to contribute both complexity and creamy texture to the wine prior to its secondary tank fermentation – known in Italy as the ‘Metodo Martinotti’. Minimal dosage prior to bottling under cork creates a vivacious style that mirrors its European origins.

“Deep yellow colour tending to bronze. Hazelnuts and toasty oaky notes, rich and savoury aromas, the fruit imperceptible. Almond oil anchors the palate, with a tease of citrus fresh fruits and red apple sweetness on the mid-palate. This is serious and compelling, dancing to the beat of its own drum” 91 Points Nick Butler
