Flametree has set itself as one of the rising stars of the Margaret River with the quality of their wines continuing to rise under the skilled winemaking of Cliff Royle (ex-Voyager Estate).
This 2023 Flametree Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is another fine example this popular Margaret River blend. The nose shows fragrant lychee, lime, lemon grass and stone fruit. The lychee notes and white nectarine provide a burst of flavour on the palate. The grape solids and barrel ferments add nice savoury notes and minerality. Overall a great combination of fruit flavours, fine acidity and a textural finish are the hallmarks of this excellent release.
"94 Points. This is a blended white with a fair bit of class. It’s pungent and intense on the nose, extending through to a crisp intensely flavoured palate. The vibrant bursts of fruit re complemented by some nice barrel fermentation influences which add so much texture and palate richness. Great drinking now but has a few years to see it develop further complexity."- Ray Jordan, rayjordanwine.com.au.
