A lovely Barossa Shiraz that possesses strong regional character, power, and elegance. The wine is intensely aromatic with blackberry/ elderberry/ praline aromas and roasted chestnut notes. The palate is rich, smooth and compact with generous blackberry/ dark chocolate/ liquorice flavours, plentiful savoury tannins and vanilla/ toasted oak notes. Although enjoyable to drink now, with its buoyant fruit sweetness and abundant flavours, the 2008 RWT Shiraz has all the hallmarks for medium to long term aging.

A sweet-fruited, supple RWT, built around powerfully concentrated, glossy stewed plum, rhubarb and blackberry fruit. Milk chocolate French oak (more than eighty percent new) provides a firm, fine tannin spine. There''s an immediacy and appeal to its sweet fruit focus, making this the wine to drink while you await those 2008 cabernets to come back down to earth.
