The family’s Italian roots are evident in the style of all the wines but they are most definitely new world and most definitely Margaret River. This is the oldest family-owned Winery in the Margaret River region with 5 different vineyard sites mostly situated in the South Western part of Margaret River.
5 Tales Chardonnay 2018
Enticing nose with layers of apples, orange and lemons tightly intertwined with white stone fruits rounding things out.
The palate is bright and lively with apples, pears and citrus dominating with notes of white stone fruits and vanilla on a creamy texture and a long finish. Different from some of the other Margaret River Chard’s I’ve tasted but still Margaret River and still delicious. Really easy drinking Chardonnay at a great price. Will cellar out to 2025 with ease.
5 Tales Cabernet 2017
The nose is all red fruits and gives you ample reason to take a sip. The palate is where it gets interesting. Impressive layers of raspberries, black current, chocolate and cherry dominate leaving little room for the vanilla, spices and oaky notes to shine through. Great drinking Cabernet at a great price. Will cellar out to 2024 without a problem but great drinking now with 30 – 60 minutes decanting. A must for your next cook-out or B-B-Q’s as we call it in Australia.
5 Tales Cabernet Merlot 2016
The nose is all red fruits with spices and an interesting vegetal note that (almost) conflicts with its bright fruity nature.
This medium bodied blend of 60% Cabernet and 40% Merlot defies it’s under $20 price point- soft, approachable and very easy to drink and is perfect for drinking coming into the warmer months. Soft tannins, nice body and structure with loads of cherries, raspberries, red current with plums, spices and vanilla underpinning the whole experience. Nice balance with a long finish. Far too easy to drink and great value. Will cellar out to 2024 without a problem.
