5 O'Clock Wines
5 O'Clock Wines — Brilliant French Wine at Clocking-Off Prices
5 O'Clock Wines is a curated range of French wines built around a simple idea: proper wine for the end of the working day, at a price that makes it your everyday go-to rather than a weekend treat. Created by the team behind London's Clapton Craft and Gnarly Vines — people who know what sells because they serve it daily — the range covers a natural Orange from Provence, a juicy Languedoc Syrah, a generous Viognier, and a fresh Provençal Rosé. All Natty stocks 5 O'Clock Wines in Bristol because the quality-to-price ratio is genuinely hard to beat.
Where the Wines Come From
The 5 O'Clock range draws on two distinct French regions. The Syrah, Viognier, and Rosé are made by Alma Cersius, an ecologically minded cooperative of 150 growers near Béziers in the Languedoc. This is sun-drenched southern France at its best — warm Mediterranean days tempered by the Cers, a cold, dry wind that sweeps in from the Pyrenees, giving the wines a freshness and sapidity that you do not always find at this price point. The vines sit on a mix of pebble and alluvial clay soils, and the cooperative's commitment to ecological viticulture means the grapes are grown responsibly.
The Orange wine tells a different story. It comes from the Haut-Var region of Provence, about 50 kilometres east of Aix, from a young organic domaine on clay-limestone soils. This is the team behind Mad Med and Les Mongestines — people making unfiltered, living wines in one of Provence's most exciting emerging areas. The result is a natural, unfiltered skin-contact wine that punches well above its price.
The Range
Each wine in the 5 O'Clock lineup earns its place by delivering flavour and character without demanding a premium. The Syrah is vivid and juicy — spicy blackberry and blueberry fruit with hints of liquorice and bay leaf. Classic southern French red, built for food but equally happy on its own. The Viognier is ripe and generous, with fleshy stone fruit aromas of peach and apricot, balanced by a crisp green apple acidity that keeps it lively. The Rosé blends Grenache and Cinsault for wild strawberry, pink grapefruit, and the floral garrigue herbs that scream Provence.
And then there is the Orange — a 50/50 blend of Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc with skin contact, fragrant with orange blossom, acacia, dried apricots, and quince. Complex enough to impress, gluggable enough to finish the bottle without noticing. If you are curious about natural wine but cautious about price, this is where to start.
Who 5 O'Clock Wines Are For
These are weeknight wines. Open-the-fridge-and-pour wines. The kind of bottles you keep stocked because they are good enough to drink every day without feeling like you are compromising on quality or spending too much. They pair naturally with simple food — the Syrah with a midweek steak, the Viognier with roast chicken, the Rosé with just about any summer evening, and the Orange with anything from grilled fish to a bold cheese.
They are also perfect for building a mixed case alongside more adventurous bottles from producers like Doom Juice or Other Wine. Stack up on 5 O'Clock for the everyday and splash out on something special for the weekend. Throw in some snacks and you are fully sorted.
