Tasting Notes
Riversdale is a unique property that has seen consistent quality derive from the very soils that lay upon the banks, slopes, and flats of today. Whether this be in the quality of the livestock born from the lands, the quality of the pastures that fed the valley or to the now intense juices which flow from the grapes planted within the unique terroir; all contribute to exemplifying the pure expression of Riversdale, and expression one can now taste 200 years since the land was first cultivated.
This family owned winery produces exceptional cool climate fruit which create these outstanding wines. Every berry gets treated with the utmost care. 100% Estate grown and bottled.
A traditonal style chardonnay with a good balance of fruit purity, acidity and oak. Expect notes of upfront stonefruits, creamy oak and a fine acid structure. Food friendly and read for immediate enjoyment.

90 / 100"A wine for the Pisces in your life? As a Libran, I have to say that it very much appealed to me, too. Fine in flavour, firm in line and length, this is one steely young Chardonnay. White peach, green apple and grapefruit with a bright lemon sorbet tang, and just a whisper of spice. Flavours work their way around a developing texture on the middle palate, but it is early days. There is little or no obvious oak in play here. Tassie cool climate acidity is on show and while acid nerds such as myself will enjoy Pisces now, a little more time in bottle will loosen the acid strings and release more enjoyment."
