Along with relaxation of intra-state travel FREEMAN Cellar Door has re-opened for bespoke tastings from our mostly Italian varietal inspired portfolio.

To comply with public health precautions we are limiting each visiting group size to four adults for seated tastings at the big table in our small cellar space. We apologise if this limit may cause inconvenience and are happy to offer back-back tastings if you have a larger group.

If you should be in our region and care to phone through an order before passing by, we will be very happy for you to collect pre-ordered wines from the Cellar Door.

Despite these arrangements please consider delaying a visit if you are feeling unwell, have had known contact with someone with Covid-19 or have recently returned from overseas. At FREEMAN we take both your (and our) health seriously. We have a registered Covid Safety Plan.

Please do call 0417 733715 if you would like to order wines.

When this is all over…

Remember the vineyard is 90 mins or so west of central Canberra, between Young and Harden.

Look for the Prunevale sign when driving along Kingsvale Rd…cross the defunct railway line, turn sharp right and you’ll spot the winery on the left. We look forward to welcoming you when our lives get back on track.

FREEMAN has again been awarded a prestigious 5 STAR RATING in the new 2020 edition of the HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION.

The two stand-outs this year are 95 POINT rated  FREEMAN Secco Rondinella Corvina 2014 and FREEMAN Robusta Corvina 2013, both  capturing serious attention.

FREEMAN Secco 2014: ‘Consistently good each year but this ’14 release is particularly noteworthy. The word impeccable springs to mind…’

FREEMAN Robusta 2013: ‘A riot of spice of every kind…Very well done in a new frontier.’

Other FREEMAN ratings include:

FREEMAN Rondo Rosé 2018: 93 POINTS

FREEMAN Sangiovese 2017: 93 POINTS

FREEMAN Nebbiolo 2015: 93 POINTS

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!
