The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in
1995. Naturally, now no longer a ‘trial’, RWT Shiraz was launched in May 2000 with the 1997 vintage. The alphanumeric Bin
designation 798 was bestowed upon the wine from the 2016 vintage. Its style is opulent and fleshy, contrasting with Grange,
which is more muscular and assertive. RWT is made from fruit primarily selected for its aromatic qualities and plush texture. The
result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa shiraz at the highest quality level. RWT wines are built for the long haul, with the
precision, concentration and balance to age for many years.

Powerful, opulent fruit. This wine has a substantial, dare we say imperious palate. The tannins polished, fine and mouth filling. Delicious, even at this relatively embryonic stage of its evolution. Flavours of crème brûlée, praline, hazelnut, bitter chinotto and fresh coffee grounds entice. From the chocolaterie, offers of coffee sweets and malted milk chocolates. Dark, brooding fruits add substantial weight to the palate, black currant, ripe plums and mulberries. An epic RWT, multi-layered, Barossa terroir expressed through a Penfolds/French oak lens.
