Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz

Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz is a superb single-region expression that celebrates both elegance and richness. Originally known as the “Red Winemaking Trial”, this project began in 1995 and was officially launched in 2000 with the 1997 vintage. RWT stands apart from Penfolds Grange in both philosophy and style, offering a Barossa Valley Shiraz matured solely in French oak to highlight purity of fruit and refined structure. The 2018 vintage continues this legacy with a wine that is plush, poised and perfectly aligned with Penfolds’ House Style – yet remains true to its own identity.

• Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz displays a deep crimson colour with excellent clarity and vibrancy.
• Aromatics are rich and inviting, with notes of rosemary, almond croissant, cinnamon bun and crème brûlée, delicately layered with fine French oak.
• The palate offers generous red fruits – wild raspberry, cherry and satsuma plum – supported by a fresh, mouth-watering acidity.
• Medium-bodied and structured, the wine shows refined tannins and an elegant, glossy texture, balanced with impressive energy and depth.
• Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz is youthful and expressive now, yet built to reveal further layers of complexity over the next decade or more.

Perfectly suited to richly flavoured dishes, this Shiraz pairs beautifully with slow-cooked beef, game meats, veal or duck breast. It also complements earthy vegetarian options such as mushroom risotto or aubergine parmigiana. Enjoy now to experience its vibrant charm, or cellar confidently until 2037 to discover its full ageing potential.
