2009 Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 750ml

The initials RWT stand for 'Red Winemaking Trial', the name given to the project internally by Penfolds when developmental work began in 1995. No longer a ‘trialâ€? RWT Shiraz was launched in 2000.

Its style is opulent and fleshy, 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.

Penfolds RWT Barossa Shiraz is a distinctly modern wine that articulates the Barossa terroir with Penfolds' signature method of winemaking. First vintaged in 1997 after several years of 'Red Winemaking Trials', RWT is typically inky deep in colour, with sumptuous fruit sweetness, mouth-filling flavours, underlying spice, savoury nuances and chocolaty tannins. The wine is matured in new and seasoned French oak for around 12 to 15 months.
