Riversdale Estate Brut Reserve NV
Summary Riversdale Estate Brut Reserve NV is a méthode traditionnelle sparkling from Tasmania's Coal River Valley, Australia. This non-vintage blend (primarily Chardonnay with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) is aged on lees for 30-36 months to develop complexity, autolytic character, and fine bubbles. Produced in limited quantities from estate fruit, it showcases Tasmania's cool-climate finesse with elegance and freshness. Balanced and versatile, it's excellent for celebrations, aperitifs, seafood, canapés, or pairing with creamy dishes and soft cheeses.
