The Flametree is an Australian native tree that provides a spectacular display of flowers. However it only blooms if the conditions affecting climate, soil, frost, wind and place of planting are in harmony. Perfume, structure and elegance are the three essential elements to produce beautifully crafted and distinct wines. These are represented by the three leaves in the Flametree logo. By winning Australia's most well-known and respected wine accolade, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, with their first ever red wine, Flametree Wines quickly captured the attention of wine media, trade and consumers. A five star rating in James Halliday's definitive Australian Wine Companion since 2013 ranks Flametree Wines in the top 5% of all of Australia’s wineries.

Citrus oil, floral notes, dried pear and grapefruit aromas are well supported by subtle French oak. The palate is textured yet fine, finishing dry and savoury, this is a direct result of wild ferments with turbid juices.

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. Date: June 2024; Price: $40.00; Rating: 96 Points; Wine Pilot
