Tasting Notes
Sourced from select vineyards across Margaret River, this Cabernet Merlot shows the region’s hallmark balance of structure and elegance. The nose opens with aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry and plum, layered with cedar, bay leaf and subtle cocoa notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, with ripe red and black fruit framed by supple tannins and a fresh acid line that drives length. Hints of graphite and dried herbs add savoury depth through the finish. A polished, harmonious blend that captures the purity and poise of modern Margaret River Bordeaux varietals. - Chris L
Flametree is a contemporary Margaret River winery known for producing stylish, expressive wines that highlight the purity and balance of this world-class coastal region. Established in 2007 by the Towner family, the estate quickly gained recognition when its very first vintage won the coveted Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy—a rare achievement that set the tone for its ongoing success. Chief winemaker Cliff Royle, formerly of Voyager Estate, leads the team with a focus on elegance, restraint and regional expression.
Fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites across the Wilyabrup, Yallingup and Wallcliffe subregions, taking advantage of the area’s maritime climate, gravelly loam soils and long, even ripening seasons. The wines—particularly Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon—reflect Margaret River’s hallmark combination of richness, precision and natural freshness.
In the cellar, Flametree’s philosophy is one of minimal intervention and balance: wild ferments, gentle extraction, and judicious use of French oak to frame the fruit without overwhelming it. The result is a range that combines modern polish with regional authenticity—wines that are pure, finely structured and immediately expressive, yet capable of graceful ageing.
Flametree stands as one of Margaret River’s leading modern estates, marrying craftsmanship with a sense of place to create wines of clarity and sophistication.
