David Freschi was brought up on the vineyard where
the Casa Freschi wines are now grown.
With the thought of enhancing people's lives, David's natural creativity led him to
pursue a career in winemaking. After completing a degree in winemaking at Roseworthy in
1990, he experienced vintages in South Australia, California and New Zealand before being
appointed Assistant Winemaker at Corbans Wines, Gisborne, New Zealand in 1992.
Here, his passion grew and after experiencing a vintage in Puglia, Italy in 1994 under
the guidance of Kym Milne MW, David was appointed Winemaker/Manager back in New Zealand in
1995. With immediate success in creating some of New Zealand's finest wines, he assumed
the role of Senior Winemaker for the company based in Marlborough in 1997.
