Freeman Prosecco Altura Vineyard 2024

Produced by Freeman Vineyards in the elevated Hilltops region of New South Wales, this Italian-inspired Prosecco captures the freshness, vibrancy and charm that have become hallmarks of the winery's portfolio. Founded by Dr Brian Freeman, a former Head of Wine Science at Charles Sturt University, Freeman Vineyards is renowned for pioneering Italian grape varieties in Australia and crafting wines with balance, texture and exceptional food compatibility.

Tasting Notes

Pale white gold in colour with delicate citrus highlights, Freeman Prosecco displays a persistent, fine bead and creamy effervescence. Aromas of fresh pear, sherbet and citrus blossom lead into a lively palate filled with crunchy pear flavours, subtle yeast complexity and refreshing acidity. Soft yet energetic, it finishes crisp, clean and irresistibly drinkable.

Winemaking

Ripe grapes are gently pressed before primary fermentation in stainless steel. A small portion undergoes barrel fermentation with lees stirring to build texture and complexity before the secondary fermentation takes place in tank using the traditional Italian Metodo Martinotti method. Minimal dosage prior to bottling preserves the wine's freshness and creates a dry, vibrant style true to its Italian inspiration.

Food Pairing

Perfect as an aperitif or paired with:

Antipasto and charcuterie
Fresh seafood
Sushi and sashimi
Light pasta dishes
Canapés and soft cheeses
