Full Description

Bottle No.AE909Penfolds RWT 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. 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 fine texture rather than sheer intensity or power of flavour. The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa Shiraz at the highest quality level. “How to best describe the 2010 RWT? In half a dozen words or less—beguiling and daring to be different.” “And yet this remains an opulent, almost unctuous wine, with volume and density—reaffirming earlier-established 1990’s RWT Barossa credentials.” Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker Part of the "Curated Fine Wine Collection :: Taste of Summer" sale on Grays.
