Producer
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 Rhône 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!
Vineyard
The grapes were sourced from various vineyard sites across Victoria.
Winery
The Fiano was split into two parts, each fermenting seperately. The first part was destemmed, gently pressed and fermented in foudre. The second was fermented on its skins for ten to eighteen days. Whilst these portions were fermenting, Pinot Giris, Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir juice is introduced at various stages.
