Description
"Pale lemon yellow colour. Grapefruit, lemon zest, grilled peach, smoky matchstick and hazelnut complexities leap from the glass. Palate sings with that same enthusiasm: there’s layers upon layers, a base note of grapefruit has smoky notes and subtle nutty nuances all running across it with bright acidity and a hint of grip that ensures drive and control of the powerful intensity on show. It flows incredibly long, remaining integrated and poised right to the finish, when it eventually arrives." - 98 Points (#1 Margaret River Chardonnay out of 110), Stuart Knox, The Real Review
"Flametree has long been one of Margaret River's best performers, without always getting the attention they deserve. In an incredibly strong field, this is my favourite white wine of the year. It lays out so clearly what it takes to make great chardonnay: the application of real winemaking intellect and artistry to exceptionally grown fruit. Its citrus and stonefruit elements are finely defined, its time in oak carefully judged for the support the wines need, not the shouting it doesn't and the fine, flinty seam of funk reminds us that demure is delicious." - 97 Points, Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian
