Freeman Shiraz Altura Vineyard Hilltops 2018

Sourced from the renowned Freeman Vineyards Altura Vineyard in the elevated Hilltops region of New South Wales, this estate-grown Shiraz showcases the power, balance and elegance that have made Hilltops one of Australia's premier cool-climate red wine regions. Crafted from mature vines, the 2018 vintage delivers exceptional concentration while retaining remarkable finesse.

Tasting Notes
 Deep blackberry in colour, the wine opens with aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, cracked pepper and baking spice, supported by subtle vanillin oak. The palate is richly flavoured yet beautifully composed, combining ripe dark fruits with savoury complexity, refined tannins and impressive persistence. A wine that balances power and elegance in equal measure.

Vintage 2018
 An outstanding growing season featuring timely rainfall, a dry autumn and extended ripening conditions produced fully mature, flavour-packed fruit. The result is a Shiraz of exceptional intensity, balance and varietal expression.

Food Pairing
 Perfect alongside Wagyu beef, grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb, roast duck and richly flavoured barbecue dishes.
