About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaFirst vintaged in 1997 after several years of 'Red Winemaking Trials', RWT is a relative new-comer, but adds great diversity to the Penfolds stable of iconic red wines. Sourced from vineyards on the western edge of the Barossa Valley, namely from Kalimna, Moppa and Ebenezer and matured in 100% French Oak, RWT epitomises contemporary Barossa Shiraz. The fruit is particularly opulent and seductive.

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.

Powerful blackberry fruit aromas; similarly powerful and concentrated dark fruit palate; oak and tannin extract in balance.

Shy, under-developed dry spices, nutmeg and cinnamon. Big, rich tannic highly structured wine of full body and density, grip and yet also balance. No excess of alcohol. Long term. Now to 20+ years.
