Penfolds Shiraz R W T Barossa 18 750ML Merlot The wine is mostly GarnachaRWT Barossa Valley 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.
