Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 2017
The Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz provides a worthy alternative to the multi-regional sourcing and American oak maturation that are the hallmarks of Penfolds Grange, expressing instead, single region Barossa Valley Shiraz matured only in French oak. 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’, RWT Shiraz was launched in May 2000 with the 1997 vintage. 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 lush texture. The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa shiraz at the highest quality level.
