Freeman Rondinella Rosé 'Rondo' Altura Vineyard 2025

Produced by Freeman Vineyards in the elevated Hilltops region of New South Wales, Freeman Rondo Rosé 2025 is a vibrant and refreshing rosé crafted from the northern Italian variety Rondinella. Founded by Dr Brian Freeman, former Head of Wine Science at Charles Sturt University, the winery is Australia's pioneer of Italian grape varieties, producing distinctive wines that combine texture, balance and exceptional food-friendliness.

Sourced from the estate's Altura Vineyard, Rondo Rosé captures the bright fruit character and natural freshness that make Rondinella such a compelling variety in the cool-climate Hilltops region.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale salmon pink in colour, Rondo Rosé opens with aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, watermelon and rose petals. The palate is fresh, crisp and beautifully balanced, showcasing vibrant red berry fruits, subtle savoury notes and refreshing acidity. Light-bodied and effortlessly drinkable, it finishes clean, dry and moreish.

Winemaking

Crafted from estate-grown Rondinella grapes, the fruit is gently handled to preserve aromatics, freshness and varietal purity. Cool fermentation highlights the wine's bright fruit character while maintaining the crisp acidity and delicate texture that define this Italian-inspired rosé style.
