2018 Flametree SRS M.River Chardonnay

Tasting: 

The 2018 Flametree SRS Margaret River Chardonnay is a stunning example of premium Australian Chardonnay, reflecting the exceptional terroir of the Margaret River region. In the glass, it reveals a bright, pale golden hue, inviting and indicative of its youth and vibrancy.

On the nose, this Chardonnay opens with an expressive bouquet of aromas. Fresh citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit are immediately apparent, mingling with stone fruits such as white peach and nectarine. Subtle undertones of flint and wet stone, characteristic of Margaret River’s terroir, add complexity. Hints of nougat, almond, and a delicate vanilla essence from well-integrated French oak are also present, enhancing the aromatic profile without overshadowing the primary fruit.

The palate is beautifully balanced and finely textured, showcasing a seamless integration of fruit, acidity, and oak. Zesty citrus flavors lead, accompanied by green apple and pear, providing a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel. Mid-palate, there are creamy nuances of brioche and cashew, attributed to lees stirring and partial malolactic fermentation. The oak influence is restrained yet supportive, contributing to a rounded and elegant structure.

The finish is long and clean, with a lingering minerality and a touch of saline, characteristic of the coastal influence of the Margaret River region. This wine exhibits finesse and sophistication, making it an excellent companion for seafood dishes, creamy pastas, or enjoying on its own as an aperitif. The 2018 Flametree SRS Chardonnay is a testament to the high-quality winemaking and the exceptional vineyard sites in Margaret River.
