97/100 — James Suckling
(2011 Vintage, Tasted: Mar 2014)
“All French oak (51% new, the balance 1yo) and plenty of perfume on offer here, raspberry, blackberry and red plum, really fragrant fruit that is accented by additional oak fragrance. The palate has tangy cut, slightly jumpy, quite taut - the vintage has this captive for now. Time will see it unwind and there's a bright wine that has plenty of Barossa power built in - give this time.”

About This Wine
Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Barossa Valley Shiraz, first made in 1997, was released after several years of red winemaking trials from which the wine takes its name. In the Penfolds tradition of trial and innovation, our winemakers embarked on a project in 1995 titled ‘RWT’ – meaning ‘Red Winemaking Trial’ – to create a new Australian Shiraz integrating the rich, generous flavours of Barossa Valley Shiraz with the finesse of tightly-grained French oak. The result is a wine of great elegance and depth of flavour, expressing Shiraz more openly than Grange. RWT is opulent and voluptuous, and fleshy where Grange is muscular.
About the Winery
Penfolds is one of Australia’s most celebrated wineries, known for its commitment to multi-regional excellence and innovation. RWT showcases single-region Barossa Valley Shiraz matured exclusively in French oak, offering a stylistic contrast to Grange while maintaining Penfolds’ hallmark quality.
