Our Notes

The Bin 798 "RWT" is a take by Penfolds, who have always been firmly in the old-school Australian camp of regional and varietal blending, on the more modern single-region single-varietal wine. As much a stunner as the more traditional Penfolds offerings but tending towards deep, dark and nuanced rather than the signature powerhouse approach. Presented here with stylish gift box.

From The Winemaker

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.
