Consumer trends here and overseas show growing preference for lower alcohol beverages including wine. So FREEMAN Vineyards has decided to invest in the NoLo to mid-strength wine space. The first stage will be the establishment of a dealcoholisation production facility in the NSW Hilltops. Yes it’s a big project that’s set to unfold over the next two years.

FREEMAN Vineyards  has been awarded a matched $2 million grant through the NSW Government’s Agriculture Industries Innovation and Growth Program to establish what will be the first wine dealcoholisation facility in NSW.

The project represents a major regional investment in innovative technology, enabling wine to be fermented, dealcoholised and bottled ready for market in the NSW Hilltops. FREEMAN will in time offer contract services to other wine companies seeking to enter this beverage sector to support growing consumer interest in healthy lifestyles and lower alcohol wine.

‘Consumers are increasingly looking for premium low- and no-alcohol wines without compromising on quality. This investment allows us to meet that demand through innovation and value-adding here in regional New South Wales,’ commented Marcelle Freeman.

But rest assured the award-winning FREEMAN portfolio continues to be crafted from estate grown grapes and fermented traditionally!

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.
