OUR WINES
From a rebellious winemaker with a taste for defying convention, Innocent Bystander has always done things differently. Every drop is crafted with honesty, simplicity, and zero pretence. Just seriously good wine made for sharing, not overthinking. Whether it’s a brooding Pinot Noir or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, Innocent Bystander wines aren’t here to follow the rules, they’re here to redefine them. Born different. Still different. And proudly un-wine.
These are the wines that made us. The ones that show up at dinners, parties, long lunches and last-minute catch-ups. Approachable, crowd-pleasing and quietly dependable, they’re made to be shared and easy to love. If you know Innocent Bystander, you know these wines.
LIKE A RIOT OF BRIGHT RED BERRIES
A hero variety for the Victoria and our pride and joy. A Pinot that carefully balances cerebral intrigue and pure drinking pleasure. It’s like a riot of berries laid over a bed of fine silky tannin. Jump in, you’ll love it.

LIKE THE GOLDILOCKS OF WHITE WINE
This Pinot Gris is a genuine people-pleaser. A zippy, citrus-driven French style that’s fresh, textural, harmonious and lingers just long enough. Not too heavy, not too light, it’s the Goldilocks of the whites.
SMELLS OF: Fresh cut pears, snow peas shoots and lemon thyme
TASTES LIKE: Lime flowers and miso. Crisp, bone dry and moreish with a lemon sorbet finish
GOES WITH : Spilling the tea and little pleasures.
LIKE DANCING ON A WARM ENDLESS EVENING..
With a colour reminiscent of summer sunsets, blushing cheeks and your favourite croquet polo shirt, why would you not choose rosé today? Don’t let its sweet hues fool you. This baby is a crisp dry drop, made from Pinot Noir grapes. Playful and preppy, classy and so damn drinkable.
SMELLS OF: Cherries and strawberries, with a savoury hint.
TASTES LIKE: Red berry compote, with a crisp, super clean finish.
GOES WITH: A great Margherita pizza, and the next round of bowls.
LIKE A SPARKLING COMET ACROSS MY TASTEBUDS
Prosecco: incoming. Whether to start the evening or end the day, there’s nothing like a glass of tantalizing and vivacious sparkling to set the mood. With notes of delicate pear and citrus over soft bubbles and a fine, refreshing finish, there's no excuses necessary.

TASTES LIKE: White peach, guava and lemon zest with a clean crisp finish
GOES WITH: The twinkle in your eye when you hear the cork pop.
A FRESH FINISH THAT GOES FOR DAYS
Moscato has it, and it’s not afraid to flaunt it. Sweet juicy berries, generous bubbles, and a fresh finish that goes for days. It’s not easy to make a wine that looks and tastes this good, but this Moscato makes it look easy, and you can too.

Big Shiraz energy, just... easier. Say hello to Easy As Shiraz, our fresh, juicy twist on the classic red. It’s got all the flavour you love, without the weight. Chillable, lighter in style, and made for afternoons that roll into evenings. No heavy tannins. No hard rules. Just a smooth, modern red that knows how to take it easy.

LIKE A SWEET SPANISH SEDUCTION

LIKE A REBAL (WITH) A CAUSE
Yes, Syrah is Shiraz. But it's more Clooney than Diesel, more Portman than Robbie. Generous in fruit, restrained in oak and subtly perfumed, the cool hillsides of the Yarra Valley are perfect for making this intriguing style. Tantalizingly spicy and made to be savoured.
SMELLS OF: White pepper, red currant and raspberry
TASTES LIKE: Cherry compote, loganberry, spice and soft tannins

Refreshingly... refreshing
Meet the new Watermelon Spritz, a deliciously different sparkling wine. Blending sun-kissed watermelon with a zesty twist and just the right fizz, it's bright, bubbly, and bursting with flavour. This is carefree companion you didn’t know you needed.
SMELLS OF: Watermelon, pink grapefruit, a dash of mint, and a salty sea breeze
TASTES LIKE: Juicy watermelon, crisp lime, and a whisper of rosé
GOES WITH: Sun filled balconies, good tunes and stripey straws.
These are the wines that don’t hang around for long. Small runs, curious ideas, and moments where we followed our instincts and saw what happened. Made when something interesting crosses our path, they’re a little rarer, a little riskier, and always worth paying attention to. If you spot one, don’t overthink it. They tend to disappear.
A rich & textural experience
This Naturally Innocent field blend is a chance to push the boundaries of white wine making. A complex and textural style that harnesses natural wine making techniques while keeping all the fun and drink-ability of Innocent Bystander.

LIKE THE JAMES BOND OF RED GRAPES
Nero is the new black. This stylish and salacious red is the James Bond of grapes. Smooth, dry, and perfectly poised to bring a hint of adventure and a dash of mystery to the table. Originally grown in the dry earth of Sicily, Nero is exceptionally well suited to the sun-drenched soils of northern Victoria.
SMELLS OF: Vibrant red currants and loganberry with hints of clove and cumin
TASTES LIKE: A richness of red berry fruits, subtle pepper spice notes with fine tannins
GOES WITH: Sundowner sessions and purple rain
Limited by name and limited by nature.
This is what happens when we grant our winemaking duo free reign over a single vineyard, upper Yarra parcel of Pinot Noir. Bright, complex aromatic and utterly delicious with dark cherry and cranberry flavours. Best paired with people.
While we generally steer well clear of the navel-gazing snobbery of the wine world, with Mea Culpa we give over to passion. This is not a wine that claims perfection, but a wine that delivers an expression of site, vintage, and winemaking character. If indulging in your passion is a crime, then we are guilty as charged.
OOPS, WE DID IT AGAIN!
Mea Culpa is back, and this time it's got a brand new pair of shoes! Introducing the 2024 Mea Culpa Chardonnay. A single vineyard expression of Yarra Valley Chardonnay from one of our family growers in Gruyere. If Chardonnay that tastes like feasting on a freshly picked basket of stone-fruit while still in the orchard and chasing them down with salted cashews and almonds is your jam, then you've found your new guilty pleasure.
A FINE BALANCE BETWEEN ELEGANCE & INTENSITY
A beautifully layered, complex, and fragrant expression of Pinot Noir from historic vineyards in the Yarra Valley. With wafts of blood-red roses, wild blackberry, and blueberries, accompanied by hints of cardamom, cinnamon, and cranberry, its mesmerizing garnet and ruby hues capture attention.
We make the wines we love to drink and share. From Yarra Valley Syrah to our pink Moscato, we've got all tastebuds covered.
