Flametree SRS Chardonnay 2020
- Rich, full
- Margaret River
For fans of classic Margaret River chardonnay, it doesn’t get much better than this. This is the reserve wine from Flametree, one of the best producers in the region. It bursts with grapefruit, lemon rind, cashew, struck match and stonefruit. Powerful, complex and long-lived to boot. The 2020 is a brand new release, but based on the quality of the vintage and the performance of previous vintages in the reviews, we expect this to get upper, upper 90’s scores from all the critics.

“Margaret River powerhouse Flametree knows how to pack a wallop in their chardy. Their top wine is concentrated, intense and full of funk.”
It’s cool, we get it, you want to know absolutely everything about this wine. Well here you go, go nuts.

Region
Margaret River
Margaret River is as elusive as it is beautiful, such that you really need to visit to truly grasp its haunting beauty. Über-premium Cabernet, Chardonnay and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends grow here. 'Margies' only produces 3% of the country's grapes, but commands over 20% of its premium wine market, and hasn't had an off vintage since 2006. You start to realise how often this region is overlooked when you can list brands like Leeuwin, Cape Mentelle, Vasse Felix, and Voyager, not to mention Cullen, Pierro, Moss Wood, and Deep Woods. It's safe to say that it's time for a revisit.
