Barossa Valley, Australia
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaFollowing decades of continued success with their flagship Grange Shiraz, Penfolds embarked upon the Red Wine Trial, culminating in 1997 with the first release of RWT Shiraz. Intended to pay greater respect to the increasingly high quality parcels of Barossa Shiraz on offer, and to create a French-oaked counterpoint to the American-oaked Grange, RWT has become a favourite amongst collectors who value regional provenance above all else.

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.

Good red-purple; fragrant aromas of black cherry, plum and blackberry; utterly delicious mouthfeel and seductive fruit; will live, but extreme patience not needed.

The bouquet shows off aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, damp earth, pepper, game, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Velvety textured, supple, ripe and succulent, this elegant effort is impeccably balanced and built for pleasure. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
