More bling…

The NSW Wine Awards 2018 have announced the Top 50 Wines in advance of the annual event celebrating the very best wines from the state.

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…

FREEMAN Sangiovese 2016 keeps turning heads – and palates. The Italian Varietal Trophy Winner at the Hilltops Wine Show 2017 has worked its charms on Winefront’s Campbell Mattinson who scored it 93 POINTS and wrote:

‘It’s distinctive. The cherried flavours have an overt sweetness…we have spice, licorice, molasses and coffee ground notes…There’s tannin, refreshing acidity and a long drawn out aspect to the finish; it spreads and runs at the business end of the wine, always a good sign, and it does it here in dry style. It’s very good. It’s easy to see what had the show judges excited.’

Conjuring wine scores over 95 from wine writers is a relatively rare event, to attract 95-plus concurrence from more than one wine reviewer, even harder. All of which makes the FREEMAN Secco Rondinella Corvina 2010 a high achiever.

 

Tim White ranted this wine 95 Points and declared it his Financial Review 2015 Red Wine of the Year. While Huon Hooke rated it 96 Points in Gourmet Traveller Wine. ‘ Attractive complex leather and spice aromas with hints of violets, dried cherry and plum. It’s an intense and elegant wine with a combination of grip, structure and flavour, that is all its own. Will age well.’

 

A recent bottle drawn from the winery cellar is living up to the claim.
