Riversdale Estate Pinot Gris
Summary Riversdale Estate Pinot Gris from Tasmania's Coal River Valley is a crisp, aromatic white from the estate's carefully managed vineyards. Made with minimal skin contact (often a light blush for texture and subtle colour), it's fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness, fruit purity, and cool-climate vibrancy. This elegant, dry-to-off-dry Pinot Gris captures Tasmania's maritime influence with bright stone fruit and floral notes, offering a lighter alternative to richer whites. Refreshing and versatile, it's perfect with seafood, creamy pasta, Asian cuisine, salads, or soft cheeses—best enjoyed young and chilled.

The Frenchman Says "This Tasmanian Pinot Gris blushes into the glass like a rosy river sunset, swirling with ripe pear softness, nectarine bursts, and a delicate floral-spice wink — light, textured, and irresistibly charming, it leaves you refreshed, smiling, and scheming for another sunny pour."
