Innocent Bystander Yarra Valley Syrah is a delicious and well-balanced red wine from one of Australia's best cool climate wine regions. It is made using carefully selected Shiraz grapes, and the result is a full-bodied wine with a deep aroma of black cherry, smoked meat, and dark chocolate with hints of spice. The wine delivers a complex blend of flavors on the palate, including juicy blackberry, plum, and a touch of pepper. It has an excellent finish and a long-lasting aftertaste. This wine is perfect to pair with bold and spicy dishes like barbecue ribs or steak, but also pairs well with a classic cheese platter.

At Innocent Bystander, all the grapes are hand-picked and only wild yeast is used for fermentation, to make the process as simple and natural as possible.

Innocent Bystander uses various grape varietals such as Arneis, Chardonnay, Cider, Moscato, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Prosecco, Syrah and Tempranillo.

Since grapes cultivated in various vineyards are chosen for making the wines, Innocent Bystander uses only the choicest and juiciest of Prosecco, Tempranillo and Moscato varietals that are grown in King Valley, Heathcote and Swan Hill respectively. One practice that has been followed in the winery here is that the wines are treated very gently, so that they go on to create a quality that is highly symbolic of the colour and the character of the fruit used in it.
