| Description: | 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. 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 rather than sheer intensity or power of flavour. The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa Shiraz at the highest quality level. Maturation:. 12–15 months in (50–70% new) French oak hogsheads (300 litres). Fermentation:. Stainless steel tanks with wax-lined/wooden header boards. Fermentation completed in barrel. The odd components vinified at Magill Estate in some years, e.g. Kalimna Block 3c and Gallasch material. - Winery |
