About The Wine
Between Five Bells; the team of David Fesq, Dr. Ray Nadeson & co. have brought to life some truly unique wines. They are unconventional in their make-up and winemaking, considered more a thing of enjoyment for the team - a vinous playground to play - in rather than a rigid, winemaking partnership.
The sense of freedom, experimentation and abandon with which they make the wines shines through in the juice in the bottle. This peculiar creature is a blend of aromatic varieties (mostly Fiano and Pinot Gris) fermented in old 1600L foudre and left untopped or tampered with for about a year where it goes through natural primary and malolactic ferments.
A healthy amount of oxygen, a lick of skin contact for a little more grip. It's great drinking.
About Between Five Bells
More than just a wine label, Between Five Bells is an amalgamation of philosophy, art and skill.
Conceived (as so many genius ideas are) after one (or several) too many wines with his friend Josh, David Fesq approached Ray Nadeson, the impossibly talented owner/winemaker of Lethbridge wines, with the concept of creating a range that put "drinkability first, and varieties, marketing and expectations second."
And so, B5B was born. These wines throw out the rulebook. The blends are unconventional, the winemaking is experimental, the juice at the end is simply delicious.

From The Producer
Who doesn't love a good blend? This one is predominantly Fiano and Pinot Gris, with the flavours to match. Some lovely lemon curd and nashi pear supported by great texture and a fresh finish.
The base of the 2020 B5B White is Fiano; we split this into two parts and fermented separately. The first part was destemmed, gently pressed and fermented in foudre, the second was fermented on skins for 10-18 days. While the wine was naturally fermenting in the foudre we introduced Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay & Pinot Noir juice at different stages as a way of increasing texture and complexity while maintaining fruit vibrancy.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
Does Different Drop have a physical store? No. Just an a warehouse/office. We occasionally do events however, so sign up to our newsletter or follow us on instagram to stay in the loop.
Can I special order a wine you do not sell? If it’s doable, then we’ll make it happen. Just contact us directly via phone, chat or email and we’ll find out for you right away. Please note that in most cases special orders such as these will need to be in full case lots (6 or 12 bottles).
