Innocent Bystander Chardonnay 750ml

Innocent Bystander Chardonnay is one of our two main squeezes out here, and this drop in particular will have you singing Yarra Valley praises. Smells of fresh pear, lemon, poached apple, florals and marzipan. Tastes like crisp, fresh and dry with a stonefruit core and citrusy pithy texture. Winemaking: a lovely rainy winter and a beautiful spring gave us big healthy canopies in the vineyards, and crisp acidic fruit. 100% hand-picked Yarra Valley Chardonnay; harvested Feb-March 2016; whole bunch pressed with free run and pressings portions kept separate; indigenous fermentation in new and seasoned French oak for 9 months; barrels lees stirred monthly until winter; no malolactic fermentation to keep it fresh and maintain natural acidity. Drink now or you can hold onto it for up to 5 years, but why wait?

Vintages may vary.
