Innocent Bystander
Sangiovese Merlot
Innocent Bystander is a contemporary producer of wine who is not afraid
of doing things a little differently. Their labels are striking and unique
and their wine styles are a side step away from the norm.
I have recently been impressed by their Sangiovese Merlot blend. It is
a wine which delivers vibrant fruit flavours, in the sour cherry and blueberry
spectrum, yet it has a gentle savoury undercurrent which adds complexity.
The Sangiovese component gives the blend its racy character where as
the Merlot adds flesh and depth to the mid palate. The wine had a pleasant
dry finish making it an excellent partner to food.
Contact the winery for stockist details.
