Innocent Bystander Moscato Wine, 75 cl

Description

This winery changed hands with one family company, Brown Brothers taking it off the hands of another, its founder, Phil Sexton. So associated is Innocent Bystander with the Yarra Valley that the new owners have made the intelligent decision to build a new winery in Healesville, just across the parking lot from Giant Steps. And they are quickly signing contracts with all the grape growers that Phil has used for Innocent Bystander so that the style of the wines remains unchanged. That style - wines that are regional and varietal, reflecting the soil, climate and topography of the cool climate in the Yarra Valley - has been the base upon which the reputation of Innocent Bystander has been built. The Gordo Muscat (Muscat of Alexandria) was selected from the Wonton, Boulton and Duffy vineyards, while the Black Muscat (Muscat Hamberg) that made up the remaining part of the blend was sourced from Burge Vineyard, Duffy Vineyard, Wall Vineyard and Pratt Vineyard, all in the Swan Hill region in Victoria. Harvested in the cool of the night, fruit was chilled and crushed with six hours skin contact to extract a hint of pink from the Black Muscat. Juice underwent a 100% stainless steel ferment with aromatic yeast at 12C. Fermentation was stopped at 5.5% alcohol by chilling the wine, then cold filtered at 0C to trap in the natural bubbles and cold bottled under pressure to retain freshness and effervescence. Intense fairy floss and blackcurrant perfumes wrap around notes of musk, Turkish delight and mandarin peel. The palate is rich in flavour, yet refined by a cleansing natural acidity. The spritzy naturally dissolved carbon dioxide leaves the palate refreshed. Review: I will be buying more from this seller. - What can I say about the beautiful fantastic sparkling sweet wine. As you can clearly see, it was finished in a day. Thank you thank you, it chilled me up yesterday. The vol is 5.5% for all you people who don't drink like myself, but I found it so nice I was able to drink it without having headache. Review: Sweetest wine I've ever drunk it's lovely - Amazing! I hardly drink wine as I like sweet drinks and find wine isn't, got this for a date night after googling sweetest wines and this came up. My boyfriend loved it too and he's usually a beer drinker. 10/10 amazing will sure buy again! Not too fizzy either just perfect 👌
