You don’t have to be Warren Buffet to know that Forbes magazine is pitched at a mostly  US-based business clientele. And hopefully some are lovers of alternative red wines.

Curious US-based wine writer Cathrine Todd has investigated what she sees as the next cult trend in global wines – dried-grape  wines. Her research soon found the FREEMAN dried grape portfolio – FREEMAN Secco Rondinella Corvina and FREEMAN Robusta (100% Corvina) – from faraway Hilltops, NSW.

In celebration of a milestone occasion, internationally renowned UK-born pop artist Peter Phillips – contemporary of David Hockney and counterpart of Andy Warhol –  will inaugurate his newly-constructed gallery during the 2019 Noosa Food & Wine Festival.

An exhibition of works spanning the course of his influential six-decade career will be launched on Saturday 18 May when guests will sip FREEMAN Prosecco 2018 with  canapes by acclaimed Brisbane chef Josh Lopez, best known for his role at the lauded two-hat GOMA restaurant.

We think the award-winning FREEMAN Prosecco minimalist gold star label may appeal to this icon of the international arts world!

ABC Radio Central West visited FREEMAN Vineyards recently and reporter Tim Fookes talked to winemaker Brian Freeman about the NSW Hilltops potential for Italian red grape varieties like Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. The flagship FREEMAN Secco is made from Australia’s only plantings of corvina and rondinella grapes. They also discussed how to best viticulturally manage  a definitive drought year.

And in the GOLD MEDAL winner roll-call is FREEMAN Secco Rondinella Corvina 2014. This is the third time the FREEMAN Secco has performed admirably in the NSW Awards’ Mature Dry Red Class, so it’s fingers crossed for a trifecta trophy…
