Between Five Bells Red Blend

TASTING NOTES
The backbone for the B5B red is always Shiraz, & their philosophy is to make a varietally ambiguous wine.

The wine is a riot of crushed fruit aromas with an underlying savoury edge. To achieve this Shiraz is split into two; the first element is 100% whole bunch fermented then gently pressed straight into the barrel, the second element is destemmed and undergoes a slow, natural ferment in 3000lt cuve with a once a day hand plunge.

PRODUCER 
Between Five Bells is, at its heart, a collective. We all have other jobs and need to make the time to concentrate on this idea.
We do love it though, and think our varied backgrounds make for some interesting views and help with the overall creative flow.
Ray is the proprietor, viticulturist and winemaker for the wonderful Lethbridge Wines, David works in the family wine-distribution firm, (as the sixth generation) and Josh is a highly regarded sommelier in Sydney.
As a team we all enjoyed the juicy, slurpable grenache & shiraz based wines of the Southern Rhone & Languedoc/Rousillon regions in France. What if we could make wines like this, that didn’t make us pose the question “What varieties make this wine?” but more simply “Do I like this wine?”
That’s what we set out to do…we hope you enjoy.
