Tasting Notes

Appearance

Innocent Bystander Prosecco NV presents a luminous pale straw colour with fine, persistent bubbles — radiating the freshness of a spring morning and the hallmark of a cool-climate King Valley Prosecco harvested at night, pressed to stainless steel tanks for a long cool ferment and naturally carbonated through charmat fermentation. Bright, vivacious and immediately inviting in the glass.

Aroma

A captivating medley on the nose — citrus, melon and lemon lead with a fresh, clean generosity, with almonds adding a gentle nuttiness and a touch of honey providing a delicate sweetness and allure. The long, cool King Valley nights and charmat fermentation preserve the natural aromatics of the Prosecco with exceptional freshness and vibrancy. Tantalising and immediately appealing.

Palate

White peach and guava lead on the palate with a lush, fresh delight — zesty lemon zest adds a bright, clean vibrancy that harmonises beautifully with the soft, fine bubbles and the wine’s natural freshness. The charmat fermentation and yeast lees ageing deliver a clean, crisp finish of genuine length and refreshment. Best enjoyed while young and fresh for the full vivacious experience.

Pairs With

A natural match for fresh seafood dishes — oysters, grilled prawns, steamed mussels or a classic King Valley antipasto spread — equally outstanding alongside a beetroot, ancient grain and fetta salad, Pasta Primavera or a light summer charcuterie board. The citrus, white peach, guava and fine bubbles make this one of the most versatile and rewarding King Valley Proseccos available. Serve well chilled. Best enjoyed young and fresh.
