2022 Embers Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Flametree Wines, Margaret River, Western Australia

Embers Sauvignon Blanc shows plenty of varietal fruits in the kiwi fruit, lem-on grass, passionfruit and lime spectrum. Cool nights, a hallmark of the vintage, has harnessed plenty of fresh, crunchy fruits and wonderful crisp acidity.

Flametree Wines is located on the picturesque shores of Geographe Bay in Western Australia, entry point to the renowned Margaret River wine region.
