About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaPenfolds RWT, while a relative newcomer to the Penfolds stable, has quickly established itself as an iconic red wine. Named after the 'Red Winemaking Trials', RWT is sourced from vineyards on the western edge of the Barossa Valley, namely from Kalimna, Moppa and Ebenezer. Uniquely matured in 100% French oak, RWT is a wonderful expression of Barossa Shiraz. The 2006 RWT, while drinking beautifully now with all it's rich and vibrant flavours, this masterpiece will enjoy a decade or more in a well

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

…oozes blackberry and licorice from the bouquet, and then improbably gains greater impact on the dense, plush palate; just when you think that is it, the freakishly vibrant and juicy finish and aftertaste take over.

That element of dry spice that typifies Barossa. Another very good wine, more tannic and firm than the previous two vintages, but also very good flavour and length. Not as sumptuous, complex or delicious perhaps, but very high quality. Best in 5 to 25+ years.
