Our Story
Flametree Wines Cellar Door and Winery is located on the picturesque shores of Geographe Bay and is conveniently located just off Caves Road between Busselton and Dunsborough. Owned by the Towner family, Flametree Wines is a proud team, committed to producing consistent, distinctive Margaret River wines while building on long term, loyal brand advocates through memorable wine experiences.
At just over 50 years old, the Margaret River Wine Region has achieved international acclaim well in advance of its years and Flametree Wines is no exception, even in the midst of the older pioneering wineries.
Established in 2007, Flametree has quickly become renowned for its award-winning Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines; the two hero varietals of Margaret River. Of the portfolio, the Flametree core range and the S.R.S. (Sub-regional Series) have achieved the highest degree of recognition from wine reviewers and the wine show circuit, with a long list of 95+ scores out of 100 and gold trophies. The Sub-regional Series is a powerhouse of elegant, complex styles which typify the remarkable attributes of each of the unique terroirs within the region.

Great wines are made in the vineyard...
We've all heard this adage many times, however it remains universally true. Just as an exceptional meal cannot be made with poor ingredients, award-winning wines cannot be crafted without pristine fruit; intentionally chosen for clone, vine age, location and vineyard husbandry.
The benefit of not growing our own fruit is the opportunity to source grapes that are perfectly matched for the style we have in mind for each of our wines. Our winemakers spend a significant amount of their time communicating with our growers and walking the rows throughout the season to ensure that the raw product achieves optimal ripeness, condition and aroma & flavour development.
