The Embers range from Flametree see a lower price point, but no less quality. Partial barrel ferment in old oak puncheons with some on gross lees. 50% of the blend went through malolactic fermentation (MLF). Chief winemaker is  Cliff Royle.

Flametree, Embers, Chardonnay, Margaret River, 2023

Pale lemon hue. Fleshy stone fruit and grapefruit with spiced pear, nutty base and creamy latte. Richer elements of barley sugar and warm brown spice. Palate offers a balance of juicy, fleshy fruit of pear, melon and grapefruit with clean and bright focus before a neatly tucked in tail. Enough heft to underline seriousness and class.
