Producer, Penfolds Region, Barossa Valley, South Australia Style, Premium Barossa Valley Shiraz Varietal, 100% Shiraz Maturation, ~14 months in French oak hogsheads Size, 750ml ABV, 14.5%
Penfolds, founded in 1844 in South Australia, is one of the country’s most prestigious wine producers, known for its flagship icons and multi-regional blending philosophy. Bin 798 RWT (Red Winemaking Trial) was first released with the 1997 vintage and represents a modern, finely tuned expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz. Unlike the more muscular Grange style, RWT focuses on aromatic purity, plush fruit, and elegance, with maturation in French oak rather than American oak to enhance finesse and texture. The 2023 vintage continues this contemporary style with precision and depth.

A polished and modern Barossa Shiraz showing layers of black plum, blueberry and dark cherry with violet lift. Seamless French oak brings notes of cocoa, spice and cedar, while fine tannins and fresh acidity create a long, elegant and structured finish.
