Between Five Bells Pinot Wine 2021
A complex, elegant nose with citrus and bready notes leads to a fresh, appley palate, followed by a soft, mouth-filling finish.
The grapes come from vines aged between five and fifteen years, trained on a two5wire vertical trellis and planted at 1,700 vines per hectare on sandy loam soils.
The juice was fermented slowly at cool temperatures using classic sparkling wine yeast. Ten percent of barrel-aged reserve wine was added to the blend, before the secondary fermentation and extended lees ageing.

Between Five Bells is a collaborative project between iconic winemaker Ray Nadeson and two of his friends: wine merchant David Fesq and top Sydney sommelier Josh Dunne. Right from their 2009 début, the first priority has been drinkability, with Californian field blends and Southern Rhone wines as particular inspirations. The labels are a key element of Between Five Bells; some wines bear infographics of extraordinary beauty, containing more winemaking information than probably any other wine on the market. Others have their production and flavour profile illustrated over the course of several different labels per wine. This is very much an artisanal producer, and quantities are minuscule.
