2022 Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 750ml Gift Box

Overview

The 2022 Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz is a distinguished Barossa Valley expression that redefines Shiraz through elegance, precision, and regional purity. Presented in a Gift Box, this release elevates one of Penfolds’ most refined Shiraz styles into a superb choice for gifting, celebration, or serious cellaring.

Vineyard and Winemaking

RWT, short for Red Winemaking Trial, sources fruit exclusively from premium Barossa Valley vineyards. Unlike traditional Penfolds Shiraz styles that employ American oak, RWT is matured solely in French oak barriques, a significant portion new. This approach enhances aromatic detail, texture, and finesse, while allowing the vineyard expression and fruit purity to take centre stage.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson in colour, the nose reveals dark plum, blackberry, and blueberry layered with notes of rose petal, mocha, and fine spice. The palate is richly textured yet composed, offering concentrated dark fruit, savoury nuances, and fine-grained tannins. French oak contributes subtle structure and length, leading to a long, polished finish of balance and poise.

Style and Character

The 2022 vintage highlights RWT’s hallmark sophistication — powerful yet controlled, generous yet refined. It stands as a modern Barossa Shiraz, combining depth and precision with unmistakable Penfolds pedigree.

Cellaring and Gifting

Enjoy now with decanting or cellar confidently for 15–25 years. Presented in a Gift Box, it is perfectly suited for premium gifting, corporate occasions, or milestone celebrations, offering both immediate impact and long-term value.
