It’s a great time to embrace the season of dinner parties and sunny picnics with Innocent Bystander’s iconic Summer wines. This renowned Yarra Valley-based wine producer is offering three stand-out wines perfect for Summer – Field Blend, Pinot Gris and Prosecco.
Zesty, textural and fresh, Innocent Bystander's 2021 Pinot Gris is a crowd pleaser no matter the time of year – recently picking up a silver medal at the 2022 Victorian Wine Show.
A zippy, citrus-driven French style that is fresh, textural and harmonious, lingering just long enough on the palate; not too heavy, not too light, it is the Goldilocks of the whites.
This drop, from the King and Yarra Valleys, smells like fresh cut pears, now pea shoots and lemon thyme; while the taste evokes flavours of lime flowers and miso – crisp, bone dry and moreish with a twangy lemon sorbet finish.
Pair this white with beer-battered whiting, chips and tartare, or fresh oysters, goats’ cheese and char-grilled vegetables.
