Between Five Bells Red Wine 2018
This eminently drinkable wine is a riot of crushed fruit, earthy spice and bitter chocolate, with an underlying savoury edge.
The grapes were sourced from various vineyard sites across Victoria.
After picking, the Sangiovese was divided into two parcels. the first portion spent 10 days on its skins, whilst the second spent 30 days. Natural fermentation was carried out in a 3000 litre barrel, during which small amounts of Aglianico, Sagrantino, Negroamaro and Nebbiolo were added.

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.
