Riversdale Estate Rose 2024
Summary Riversdale Estate Rosé is a vibrant, dry rosé from Tasmania's Coal River Valley, crafted primarily from Pinot Noir (with possible small portions of other varieties) from the estate's cool-climate vineyards. Made with short skin contact for delicate colour and structure, it's fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve freshness, bright fruit, and subtle texture. This elegant Tasmanian rosé captures the region's maritime influence with crisp red berry character, floral lift, and refreshing acidity. Approachable and food-friendly, it's perfect chilled with seafood, salads, charcuterie, grilled fish, or light summer fare.
