Aroma
Elevated lychee and citrus blossom characters. Vibrant, fresh, and punchy dry herbal notes.
Appearance
Lifted green hue.
Palate
Fruit-driven palate with tropical fruits, lychee, and hints of honeydew melon. The palate is generous with with fruit length and finishes with a lovely powdery acid line.
Vinification
Our fruit was picked in the cool of the night and delivered straight to the
winery to minimise any colour extraction. Upon arrival, the fruit was
processed straight away to ensure a clean flavoursome profile is met.
Once racked, the juice was inoculated with a highly aromatic yeast to
maximise the flavour profile and rich creamy texture we are looking for.
Upon completion of ferment, the wine was prepared for bottling to hold
onto delicate aromatics and flavours.
Range Notes
Five Tales is the name of the ongoing story of the Credaro Family Estate. It’s
all about One Family that traces its history through Two Countries, and the
legacy that was started by Three Italians, Olympio, Cesare and Maria. Now
the family is in its Fourth Generation and tends to Five Vineyards in WA’s
south-west. The story is still unfolding.
Vintage Notes
Commencing with a cool dry spring, vintage 2023 was mild, much like the
previous season, and this delayed vine development pushed back our
harvest timing by about two to three weeks. When the warmer weather
did finally arrive in January, it wasn’t as extreme as in 2022. The
consistently dry and warm conditions saw the vines catch up nicely on
their development, with our whites ready to pick seven to ten days later
than the “norm”. Natural acids in the whites allowed us maximum acid to
flavour balance, while the reds, in general, were picked ten to fourteen
days later with lower ripening levels that will add depth and elegance.
