Flametree Sauvignon Blanc Semillon

Flametree Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2012

Margaret River, Western Australia   |    750ml   |    13.5%
Since its establishment in 2007, Flametree has set itself as one of the rising stars of the Margaret River wine industry. A Jimmy Watson Trophy winner with their first ever red wine made, the quality of Flametree wines continue to impress under the skilled winemaking of Cliff Royle (ex-Voyager Estate)

"94 /100. Cliff Royle is tweaking the finer nuances of his wines with each passing season, and took the opportunity in the pristine season of 2012 to play with different yeasts, more solids in the ferment and oak fermentation of just ten percent of the semillon component, in order to improve the textural complexity of this blend. The result is quite magnificent, with sauvignon blanc (almost three-quarters of the total) leading the charge with its lively Gardenia fragrance and its green pepper and granny smith apple crunch. The palate is beautifully honed, with passionfruit and crunchy citrus over a fine, textural backbone and lively acid drive. It’s very long, impeccably controlled and sensational value” - Tyson Stelzer www.tysonstelzer.com.

"93 /100 One of the best examples of this slightly newer style, with just a small amount of oak adding to the palate weight. Slots neatly into the Margaret River vein of a sav blanc-dominant wine, with an interesting mix of stone fruit and hint of lemon. Restrained and fine palate." - Ray Jordan, The West Australian.

"18.2 /20. Wine Of The Week. This is not only the finest SBS released under this label, it is so classically styled and delicious that it will prove to be one of the Margaret River semillon sauvignon blanc blends of the year." - John Jens, Western Suburbs Weekly

Flametree Cellar Door and Winery is located on the picturesque shores of Geographe Bay, at the gateway to one of the world's great wine producing regions; the Margaret River Wine Region.

Established in 2007 by the Towner family, Flametree Wines was created with passion for wine and a vision to become a world recognised winery producing exceptional quality wines with a laid-back style and elegance.

By winning Australia's most well-known and respected wine accolade, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, with their first ever red wine, Flametree Wines has firmly established themselves in the upper echelon of Margaret River wine producers.

Proving that this accolade was not a coincidence and that Flametree was actually deserving of the prestigious award, the next vintage was also a finalist in the following years' show. This unprecedented success has since continued, with many critic reviews and awards.

Lifted citrus, kiwi fruit and stone fruits dominate the nose at this stage. The colour is pale straw with a green hue. Lemon blossom, stone fruit, passionfruit and citrus are the dominant fruit flavours in this year’s wine. The palate is enhanced with a touch of spicy barrel ferment. Fine, long and crisp the palate also shows citrus, nectarine and gooseberry flavours. Extended lees contact has given the wine some added texture and a long finish. Fine fruit flavours and fresh acidity give the wine lovely focus, these are hallmarks of the 2012 SBS.
