The number ‘5’ is Ari’s lucky number. This blend started its existence as a “scraps” barrel that would include lees-y leftovers from racking and other small amounts of juice and wine that we didn’t have space for elsewhere. Nowadays it’s much more purposeful as a special blend of each vintage, still created from some of everything we bottled in 2022.
This contains no less than 12 different varieties, and sees the exuberance of our orange and rosé wines balance against our reds. It’s weird but it’s wonderful.
Aristotelis Ke Anthoula started as a family pastime. Having migrated from rural greece in the early 80s, Aristotelis and Anthoula longed for the feeling of home so they started making their own wine in a garage in the beachside suburbs of Sydney. From the beginning, all their wines were made entirely by hand (and foot) using only grapes, with no additives, no filtration or fining and no pumps or machinery.
All fruit is hand harvested and farmed with care. Our wines are still crafted from grapes alone with the aid of very little machinery. They are carefully made by hand and laboriously fussed over to extract maximum flavour and ensure they are high quality and stable. Natural, wild yeasts are used for fermentation, and there are no chemicals or preservatives added at any time. All of our wines are unfiltered and unfined and to this day we have never added (nor had a need for adding) any sulphur to our wines.

We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
