Winery Review: The focus of Innocent Bystander is to produce quality, flavor-driven wines from carefully selected vineyards in the Yarra Valley and beyond. Over time Steve Flamsteed and his team have increased the level of complexity and texture in the Innocent Bystander wines with greater use of wild fermentations and restrained oak handling.
Ned's Take: This was a sparkling wine and had a nice amount of bubbles. Sometimes sparkling wines can be over carbonated, but this wine had just enough to make the aromas pop. The nose was a strong mix of berries and fruit. The taste had notes of berries, pears, and black cherry. The fruit flavor was succulent and the wine gave a smooth, and surprisingly thick, feel. The wine was sweet, which was to be expected from the style, but it was not overpowering. Overall, this was a pretty good wine and had interesting flavors for a Moscato.
