This wine is produced from a number of vineyards that span the Yarra from Paul`s Range at Dixons Creek in the north across to Bastard Hill in the very cool southern Upper Yarra. These vineyards were chosen in particular for their high diurnal temperature range, resulting in wines with high natural acidity and low pH. Yields are less than seven tonnes per hectare
Wine making
Innocent Bystander Pinot Noir is made 100% Yarra Valley fruit, predominantly hand-picked with harvesting taking place from February to March.
10% whole bunch fermented, hand plunged and air maceration for colour extraction. Fermentation takes place using a combination of yeasts including indigenous strains. The wine is then matured in French oak for 9 months, 10% of which was new.
On the nose boysenberries and cherry, baked earth, dried spice, juniper and fresh bay tree. On the palate, this wine has dark fruits, thick and juicy. A velvety mouthfeel and a finish of soft savoury tannins.
Pair With
Mushroom pizza, Jamon Serano, Pasta with duck ragu.
