2009 Shiraz, Flametree

Deep, resolved and quietly powerful, the 2009 Flametree Shiraz is a beautiful example of Margaret River elegance with time on its side. In the glass it shows a dark garnet core with softened edges, opening into aromas of black plum, blackberry and dried blueberry, layered with notes of cracked pepper, smoked meat and cocoa. The palate is smooth and integrated, dark fruit mellowed into savoury complexity, with fine, silky tannins and a gentle lift of acidity carrying the wine through to a long, warming finish touched with spice and earth.

For when: the food’s slow, the stories are long, and the night stretches out.
Pairs with: slow-braised beef, lamb shoulder, or aged hard cheeses.
If this wine were a setting: embers glowing after the fire’s burned down, calm, comforting, and deeply satisfying.

Crafted by Flametree, a producer known for refining power into poise, this 2009 Shiraz shows how beautifully the variety can evolve in Margaret River’s maritime climate. Time has softened the fruit, knitted the oak, and brought everything into harmony, delivering a mature Shiraz that feels complete, expressive, and ready to enjoy right now.
