Flametree has firmly established itself as one of the star wineries of Western Australia's Margaret River wine region. Under the skilled winemaking of the highly regarded Cliff Royle, the quality of wine produced at Flametree continues to soar.
The 2024 Flametree Chardonnay is another high quality Margaret River Chardonnay offering an excellent combination of fruit flavours and structure associated with those from the southern Margaret River area. The palate is textured and savoury, with plenty of grapefruit, pear, melon and fig flavours supported by some quality French oak. A delicious Margaret River Chardonnay with impressive length, this offers super value at this discounted price.
"96 Points. Aching beautiful, the wines of Flametree, often fly under the radar in quality and dare I say it, price. This is no different with swoon worthy aromas of Star Jasmine, Freesia and Frangipani blooms set against the plump flesh of white nectarine, mangosteen and poached apples. The palate twists and turns as it reveals its many chiseled facets. First a phenolic grip, then a slew of naturally gracefully acidity. A caress of cinnamon oak and maple. There is some artful consideration for shape and texture, ensuring this will continue to envelop you in ecstasy and satisfaction. A wine worth your time, a place in your cellar and a VIP seat at the table. Stunning. $40."- Shanteh Wale, Wine Pilot.
