Freeman Aleatico Fortified 375ml

A rare and captivating fortified dessert wine from Dr Brian Freeman's Freeman Vineyards in the Hilltops region of New South Wales. Crafted from Aleatico, an aromatic Italian variety traditionally associated with the island of Elba in Tuscany, this small-batch fortified wine showcases the grape's distinctive fragrance and natural sweetness.

Deep cherry-amber in colour, the wine bursts with enticing aromas of Turkish delight, rose petals, ripe cherries, and exotic spice. The palate is luscious and silky, balancing generous sweetness with freshness and vibrant fruit intensity, before finishing long, fragrant, and beautifully persistent.

Made from fully ripe Aleatico grapes, fermentation is halted through fortification to preserve the grape's natural sweetness. The wine is then matured in seasoned barrels before bottling, creating a dessert wine of remarkable purity and character.
