Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name was 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 year

This started life as a red wine trial to see how Penfolds could marry French oak with Barossa shiraz. To say it has worked is an understatement. This is a cracker. Perfumed spicy notes on the nose with a peppery fennel character. The palate is elegant, in fact as elegant and smoothly integrated as I can recall. Dark chocolate and lifted red raspberry nuance providing an engaging combination on the palate. Love the fruit sweetness and how it’s balanced against the fine chalky tannins and fine-grained French oak.
