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.

WINEMAKING NOTES: Soft extraction techniques and cooler than normal ferment temperatures have resulted in a generously-fruited, fleshy wine with lovely lifted Cabernet Sauvignon aromatics. All batches were fermented separately before being transferred into older French oak barrels to undergo maturation for 12 months. After maturation in barrel the wine was blended, fined, filtered and then bottled.

TASTING NOTES: The 2017 Embers Cabernet has lifted aromas of violets, ripe black fruits with chocolate and cedar notes. This year’s wine is a little more structured and finer than the more juicy 2015 vintage. Flavours of Satsuma plum, blackberry and chocolate underpin this years wine. Unashamedly medium bodied with soft fruit and a fine tannin structure.

BLEND: 100% Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.

CELLARING: Up to five years.
