Vintage Cellar Review: The focus of Innocent Bystander is to produce quality, flavour-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.
My Review: Although my favorite wine at today's Vintage Cellar tasting was the Frisk Prickly Reisling, I must admit that this Moscato came in a close second. On the nose, strawberries and floral notes. On the palate, cherry and peach flavors. The sweet finish makes this a decadent dessert wine. I tasted this wine on its own with no food.
