Flametree, now owned solely by the Towner family ( John, Liz, Jeremy and Rob), has had extraordinary success since its first vintage in 2007. The usual practice of planting a vineyard and then finding someone to make the wine was turned on its head: a state-of-the-art winery was built, and grape purchase agreements entered into with various growers in the region. Gold medal after gold medal, and trophy after trophy followed, topped by the winning of the Jimmy Watson Trophy with its first red wine, the 2007 Cabernet Merlot. If all this were not enough, Flametree has secured the services of former long-serving winemaker at Voyager Estate, Cliff Royle. Exports to the UK, Fiji and Singapore.
The following information was provided by Flametree.
Flametree Wines was catapulted into winemaking folklore after winning Australia’s most prestige’s wine award the Jimmy Watson Trophy with its first ever red wine, the 2007 Cabernet Merlot. Proving that this wasn’t just good luck the 2008 Cabernet Merlot was again a finalist in this year’s Jimmy Watson trophy taste off. James Halliday’s 2010 Wine Companion ranked Flametree Wines in his Top 10 New and Exciting wineries, giving great reviews across the complete range. Recent accolades include winning the trophy at the Margaret River Wine Show for the best Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, no mean feat given the quality and quantity of the wines entered. Winemaker Cliff Royle and his winemaking team are dedicated to producing the very best premium wines from the Margaret River region.
