[SOLD-OUT] Penfolds RWT 2013

 

"Inky colour. Rich perfume, deep and dark, graphite, briar, berries, stewed plums, really attractive dense scents. It sucks you in from the start; such perfume. Sleek texture, really dense and inward coil, train tracks of molten, chewy tannins, incredible length – such length. It’s a superb wine this; so potent and so complex. Could be the best RWT yet." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front

 

"Penfolds RWT Shiraz presents an admirable alternative to the multi-regional sourcing and American oak maturation that are hallmarks of Grange, expressing instead, singleregion Barossa Valley Shiraz matured only in French oak. 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. 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." - Penfolds
