Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2005
Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2005
Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Size: 750ml

Tasting Note:

Campbell Mattinson 97 points!
”When I was writing about this Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2005 in the first edition of the Big Red Wine Book I called it “seductive, but not at all tarty”. Re-tasting it now I can see what I meant. It’s a luscious, sweet-centred, bold wine, jammed full of blueberried fruit and clipped with toasty, cedary, creamy oak.

This too is fragrant and full, its violetty aromatics and power through the finish clear signals of its outstanding quality. This is a champion wine, for the long haul.”
Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, May 2008
Jeremy Oliver 96 points!
”A joyful, vibrant and supple shiraz whose open and uncomplicated expression of pristine blackberry, cassis and plum-like flavour is lifted by a spicy perfume and the handsome mocha and vanilla presence of new fine-grained French oak. Juicy without being jammy, it’s smooth and approachable, with a finely crafted, willowy backbone of velvet tannin.”
Jeremy Oliver, Feb 2008
James Halliday 94 points!
"Good red-purple; fragrant aromas of black cherry, plum and blackberry; utterly delicious mouthfeel and seductive fruit; will live, but extreme patience not needed."
James Halliday, The Wine Companion, Sep 07

About - Penfolds RWT
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 in French oak barriques. The initials RWT stand for 'Red Winemaking Trial', the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in 1995. 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. Penfolds
