Flametree is a partnership between two families, the Gordons (Jeremy and Daniela) and the Towners (John, Liz, Jeremy and Rob), which has come a very long way in a very short time. The wines are made from grapes purchased from growers in the Margaret River and Frankland River regions, and made in a state-of-the-art winery completed just in time for the 2007 vintage. The success that has followed in the wake of the wines of that vintage is extraordinary. Flametree won the trophy for Most Successful WA Winery under 300 tonnes at the Perth Wine Show ’08 on the back of gold medals for its ’07 Cabernet Merlot, ’07 Merlot, plus a silver for its ’08 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon and a bronze for the ’07 Shiraz. The Cabernet Merlot continued to shine: blitzing the field at the Qantas Wine Show of WA, winning multiple trophies; winning the Jimmy Watson Trophy; and winning the trophy of the Margaret River Wine Show for Best Cabernet Blend.

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.
