Riversdale Pisces Chardonnay 2025 from Riversdale Estate in southern Tasmania is a traditional‑style, estate‑grown chardy that marries ripe stonefruit generosity with creamy oak and a fine, cool‑climate acid line. This Riversdale Estate Pisces Chardonnay 2025 has already turned heads, with strong critical praise highlighting its balance and drinkability.

In the glass it sits light straw, showing nectarine, apple and citrus fruits alongside hints of lemon curd, wildflowers and spice, with nougat, almond‑paste and creamy oak notes weaving through the background. The palate is medium‑bodied and food‑friendly – upfront stonefruits, a gentle creaminess from oak, and a fine acid structure that keeps everything focused, giving a clean, persistent finish rather than a heavy, buttery one.

On the table it’s a natural match for roast chicken, grilled Tasmanian seafood, creamy pasta or richer vegetarian dishes, where that blend of fruit purity, acidity and oak handles flavour without overwhelming the plate. It drinks beautifully now with a quick splash in the decanter but has the line and structure to evolve nicely over the next few years for those who enjoy a little bottle‑aged complexity in their chardonnay.
