Penfolds RWT Bin 798

Red wine | South Australia

The initials RWT stand for Red Winemaking Trial, a project that began in 1995. Launched in 2000 with the 1997 vintage, RWT Shiraz has been known as Bin 798 since 2016. This wine is opulent and fleshy, contrasting with the more muscular Grange. RWT, made from grapes selected for their aromatic qualities and texture, redefines Barossa Shiraz at the highest level. Designed to age for a long time, it offers precision, concentration and balance.
