Riversdale Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Riversdale Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, aromatic white from Tasmania's Coal River Valley, Australia. Crafted from estate vines (often 12–30-year-old blocks) in this cool-climate region near Pittwater Reserve, it's fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness, vibrant fruit, and distinctive green/herbal character. This lively Sauvignon Blanc balances tropical lift with measured herbaceousness and bright acidity - expressive of Tasmania's unique growing conditions.
Refreshing and versatile, pair with seafood, goat cheese, asparagus, salads, or Asian cuisine; best enjoyed young and chilled.

Expert Review
"Speaks of all things green and then balances it with some scintillating aromatics. A sweet grassy fragrance in gooseberry, snow pea, citrus blossom, grapefruit and gentle herbs. Smells so fresh and alive. A distinctive and equally fresh and crunchy acidity brings the palate to life... nicely countered with some lip-smacking passionfruit pulp to close." – Winepilot.com (2025 vintage; 95 points, highlighting freshness, balance, and Tasmanian vibrancy)
The Frenchman Says
"This Tasmanian Sauvignon Blanc rushes into the glass like a crisp Coal River breeze, fizzing with gooseberry snap, snow pea freshness, and a grapefruit-citrus tease – crunchy, grassy, and irresistibly alive, it leaves you invigorated, smiling, and scheming for another zesty pour."
