Our Review
Ian Roberts purchased the Riversdale property in '80 while a university student. The unique feature of the property is its frontage to the Pittwater waterfront, which acts as a buffer against frost and also moderates the climate during the ripening phase. It is a large property with 37ha of vines and one of the largest olive groves in Tasmania. The estate also includes luxury French Provincial-style cottages overlooking the vines, a French bistro, an orangery (where high tea is served) and a cellar door. Wine quality is consistently good and can be outstanding. -JAMES HALLIDAY
