Welcome
2010 Vintage Photo Journal
Chardonnay that has been picked on the Sexton Vineyard is being collected by tractor. By mid afternoon it will arrive at the winery where it will be pressed into tanks. These grapes will go towards the 2010 Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Chardonnay.

In the seconds before death,
your life is supposed to flash before your eyes.
The last photo album of an innocent bystander.
Some of us will be here for a long time.
Others for just a good time.
Like our wines.
We've spent our lives striving to grow and make great wines.
Still working at it.
Meanwhile, what really counts?
A great impression...fond memories...was it fun?
We hope, that like the bystander, these wines tread gently, judge nobody and most of all,
leave a lasting impression.
Our wines are made to drink.
Want (or should we say need) some?
Innocent Bystander is a Yarra Valley based winery producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir alongside several emerging varietals including Pinot Gris, Moscato, Sangiovese & cool climate grown Shiraz.
The label first came about when the Giant Steps team decided to produce wines from the many brilliant vineyards they came across in the Yarra Valley and beyond.
A visit to the winery in Healesville’s main street is a fascinating experience. Built around gravity flow principles and designed for hand making small batches of wine, the winery is an exercise in function over form, much like the strongly expressed views of its owners and winemaking team.
These are approachable, drinkable wines that deliver abundant fruit flavour – our winemakers like to think of them as “a bloody good drink!”
