Penfolds RWT Shiraz
Penfolds RWT Shiraz presents an admirable alternative to the multi-regional sourcing and American oak maturation that are hallmarks of Grange, expressing instead, single-region Barossa Valley Shiraz matured only in French oak. 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 fine texture. The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa Shiraz at the highest quality level.
Tasting Note Ascending florals, primarily violet (laced with pepper) harmoniously project alongside wafts of white chocolate/cocoa powder.Scents of cedary French oak and pink peppercorn/spice artefact aligned with pan scrapings/balsamic. Dark red with a purple core.
A spoil of charcuterie delights, primarily cold meats, shadow the more reticent panforte and cola notes that ever so slowly appear with aeration.
