Healesville based winery Innocent Bystander is launching its first natural white wine, the Naturally Innocent Field Blend. The wine is made from an equal blend of chardonnay, Albarino and Pinot Grigio.
The blend uses hand-picked fruits from the King Valley vineyard in Victoria with the juices co-fermented. From vineyard to bottle, the wine has little intervention and is a natural take on the spirit as it avoids fining or filtration.
Ideal as a summer drink, the wine brings a refreshing flavour profile through notes of fresh melon and lemon from the Albarino, along with aromas of fresh cut pears from the Pinot Grigio.
The label aims to illustrate the colours of a 1970s “disco organico” and is designed by local artist Xana Denruyter.
The Naturally Innocent Field Blend is available online through Innocent Bystander’s website for RRP $25.
