Penfolds, Bin 798 RWT Shiraz, Barossa Valley 2017

Description

Penfolds is one of Australia’s oldest and most iconic wineries. Created in 1844 it is well known for producing heavy red wines. One of the first winery to have a multi-region and multi-wineries production.

The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in 1995. Naturally, now no longer a ‘trial’, its style is opulent and fleshy, contrasting with Grange, which is more muscular and assertive. RWT is made from fruit primarily selected for its aromatic qualities and plush texture.

The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa shiraz at the highest quality level. RWT wines are built for the long haul, with the precision, concentration and balance to age for many years.
