FLAMETREE SRS Wallcliffe Chardonnay, Margaret River 2018 Bottle
About this wine
Flametree S.R.S Wallcliffe Margaret River Chardonnay
A new member of the Margaret River elite. This is a classic, pristine and consistently brilliantly made Chardonnay that showcases the increased focus on Margaret River subregions.
According to Dr John Gladstones, in his 1999 paper ‘Terroir in Margaret River’, the region should be divided into six subregions: Yallingup, Carbunup, Wilyabrup, Treeton, Wallcliffe and Karridale. While not part of the official GI (Geographical Indication), these sub-regions are understood and respected by Margaret River vignerons and winemakers. Flamtree’s Sub-Regional Series (S.R.S) explores these distinct areas in Australia's premium wine powerhouse of Margaret River.
‘now firmly among the Margaret River Chardonnay elite,’
- Ray Jordan
To maintain freshness, the fruit is cold stored overnight prior to the whole bunches being pressed into French oak puncheons. Once the temperature reaches the right level, the full wild yeast fermentation begins. According to Flametree, the key to successful wild fermentation is ‘the use of high turbidity juices, minimal sulphur dioxide, low alcohols and juices with good nutrient content.’ Barrel fermented in 40% new French oak puncheons prior to being aged for nine months.
