About The Wine
Dr Ray Nadeson is your classic 'mad scientist' in the wine world. An academic and scientific background sits behind a seemingly endless creative streak in his winemaking.
Most of this wine is made up of Pinot Gris, joined by a wild motley crew of white varieties bringing different colours and detail to the party. In total, the fruit saw a whopping 90 days on skins.
Unsurprisingly, Ray's crack at an amber wine is a massive success. Spicy, grippy and a little bit wild, this is a great example of Australian amber winemaking. Just what the Doctor ordered.
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
A continuous fermentation began with Pinot Gris, and then extended with additions of the other varietals as they arrived. Fermentation was entirely on solids. Careful cap management was maintained to aid delicate extraction from the skins. The final must was left to finish fermenting, split, and transferred to a mix of French oak and clay amphora. The wine in amphora continued a post fermentation maceration totalling 90 days on skins. The final wine is a complex dance of textured tannins with flavours of cider apples, grapes, and William Pear, highlighted by aromas of orange blossom and perfume.

What I like about B5B is the role that funk plays in the wines. It’s always there but it’s not front of stage (like a guitar solo), it’s more like a cow bell – https://youtu.be/tPh7OZew5oo
This is great summer drinking.

We'll even retrospectively issue you store credit if you have already purchased from us but you see a lower price somewhere later on. Our price match policy can be seen here.
Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
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.
