Penfolds 2022 RWT BIN 789 Shiraz - Lunar New Year Box

Celebrate the Year of the Snake with RWT Shiraz, a mark of refined excellence. Presented in a Lunar New Year gift box, it embodies the essence of prosperity and good fortune. The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in the early 1990s. Naturally, now no longer a ‘trial’, RWT Shiraz was launched in May 2000 with the 1997 vintage. Stylistically, RWT is contemporary, opulent and finely tuned. This is an interesting contrast to the well-established Grange which is a more concentrated, muscular and assertive style. RWT is made from Barossa Valley Shiraz grapes which were primarily selected for their aromatic qualities, varietal typicity, fine tannins, and plush texture. Maturation in French oak provides another contrast to Grange. The result is a wine that redefines Barossa Valley Shiraz at the highest quality level. While delightfully approachable on release, RWT Bin 798 has the concentration and balance to age for many years.
