Freeman Furmint 'Altura Vineyard' 2024

canberrPlanted on our Altura Vineyard, furmint is a thin-skinned variety, typically picked mid-season after chardonnay. Ripe whole bunches are de-stemmed and lightly pressed within an hour of picking and fermented in stainless steel, amplified with gentle lees stirring and a mix of new and old barrel ageing of selected parcels. This first release flags the arrival of an exciting rare variety here in the cool elevated Hilltops region. TASTING NOTES This latest addition to the family – FREEMAN Furmint 2024 displays aromas of tropical fruit, lychee, pear and citrus complemented by bright acidity and a complex, mid-weight textural palate. One for the next wine options night!
