2022 Between Five Bells White, Geelong

A bright, shape shifting white that reflects Between Five Bells’ playful approach to blending, this wine captures the cooler edge of Geelong in a style built for energy and curiosity. The composition changes with vintage, drawing on aromatic and textural varieties to build layers without heaviness. The maritime climate brings natural acidity and lift, allowing the wine to feel vibrant even when it carries weight and texture.

Winemaking is intentionally loose and experimental, favouring gentle handling and minimal intervention. The aim is to preserve individuality in each component while creating harmony in the glass. The result is a white that feels alive and slightly unpredictable in the best way.

Pale straw in colour with a youthful shimmer, the aromas open with pear, citrus zest and stone fruit, followed by white flowers and a faint savoury note. The palate is light to medium bodied and lively, with orchard fruit wrapped in crisp acidity and a soft textural edge. Flavours move from citrus into gentle herbal tones, finishing clean and refreshing.

It pairs easily with seafood, salads, antipasto and casual shared plates. Best enjoyed young for its vibrancy and charm.

This is Geelong white in a creative register, fresh, layered and built around drinkability.
