Cool flowering led to low yields of exceptional quality fruit, with 6 hours of skin contact and stainless steel cold fermentation locking in freshness and aromatics. Vegan friendly. Refreshment with a little swagger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInnocent Bystander Sauvignon Blanc 2024 presents a bright pale straw with a hint of youthful green — the hallmark of a cool-climate Tasmanian Sauvignon Blanc harvested in March 2024 from the East Coast, immediately destemmed to press with 6 hours of skin contact to soak up aromatics and flavour, then cold fermented in stainless steel to hold onto that freshness.
