Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz (2021) 750ml

DESCRIPTION

RWT stands for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’. No longer a trial, this is a wine that redefines Barossa shiraz at the highest level. Wish your loved ones all kinds of success in the year of the Dragon with the RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz.

RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz presents an admirable alternative to the multi-regional sourcing and American oak maturation that are hallmarks of Grange, expressing instead, single region Barossa Valley shiraz matured only in French oak. 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.

Tasting note: Dark fruits affording viscosity and concentration. Quince noted … and a little more (fig/cheese + balsamic?). Vietnamese mint and anise indulge an admirable palate “cooling effect”/lift. Dusty tannins fused with cocoa chocolate dust. Structurally confident – a defined backbone, Barossa weight and density.
