Tasting Notes
A nice balance of fine fruit flavours and tight structure, very much in line with the new wave of modern Australian Chardonnays. Dried pear, grapefruit, honeydew melon and fig flavours are well supported by subtle French oak. The palate is textured, yet savoury, a direct result of wild ferments with turbid juices. Drink as a young wine or cellar in the medium term. - Winery Note
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.
