Bin 798 RWT Shiraz Barossa Valley

The 2022 Penfolds Bin 798 RWT Shiraz represents the pinnacle of Barossa Valley viticulture, distinguished by its masterful use of French oak rather than the traditional American oak associated with the Penfolds house style. This sophisticated approach imparts a refined, silky texture and a complex aromatic profile, marrying the intense dark fruit concentration of the Barossa with an elegant, polished structure. On the nose, one finds a tapestry of opulent blackberry, dark plum, and spice, layered with subtle notes of cedar and high-quality dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine demonstrates profound depth and precision, showcasing the impeccable balance between muscular power and velvety tannins that has become the hallmark of this prestigious label. It is a compelling expression of terroir that balances intensity with grace, offering a sensory experience that resonates long after the final sip. A testament to Penfolds' commitment to excellence, the 2022 RWT is a cellar treasure that will continue to evolve and gain complexity over many years.
