Can I freeze excess sage leaves?

in Fruit & veg
I have a sage plant that is starting to look a bit yellow from the wet weather. As winter isn't like to bring about many dry spells, I'm wondering whether it's worth removing some of the stems, and popping the leaves in the freezer for use over the winter before the leaves get worse?
The sage plant is it a container with other dry tolerant plants (lavender, thyme, salvia etc) and is made up of mostly compost mixed with grit, with good drainage at the bottom. Just mentioning this to show that the plant isn't sitting in wet ground.
Also the underside of the plant has quite a few shrivelled and brown dying leaves. Should I wait to Spring before cutting those away? The plant itself was bought quite small this summer so isn't huge but is probably around 30cm wide now.

Not grown it for a long time though.
They do get some shrivelled/dead leaves though, which you can just pick off.
I use some of those silicone ice cube moulds for freezing herbs.
I chop them up small and stuff as many as possible into each cube. Then top up with water and freeze. When I need some it's easy to just pop them out and put them in a sieve until the water melts and drains.
They are always nice and fresh and work fine in recipes.
