First planted in 1968, the Armagh vineyard is a tiny, low-yielding site named after the small settlement of Armagh, west of Clare. Dry-grown bush vines rooted in shallow, gravelly loam over clay produce minuscule quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, forming the foundation of this iconic wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1113\"\u003eThe 2022 growing season in the Clare Valley was mild, balanced, and ideal for Shiraz.

Concentrated dark fruit flows across a plush yet disciplined frame of fine, firm tannins. The wine displays remarkable drive and depth, supported by fresh acidity that gives energy and precision. Notes of dark chocolate, espresso, smoked spice, and earthy undertones build towards a long, powerful, and seamless finish.

In the Penfolds tradition of trial and innovation our winemakers embarked on a project in 1995 titled 'RWT' - meaning 'Red Winemaking Trial' - to create a new Australian Shiraz integrating the rich, generous flavours of Barossa Valley Shiraz with the finesse of tightly-grained French oak. The result is a fine wine of great elegance and depth of flavour. RWT is second only to Grange in the Penfolds Shiraz hierarchy, although the two wines are stylistically different. RWT expresses Shiraz more openly than Grange. This is partly a function of the grapes themselves and partly a result of maturation in French oak, rather than stronger, sweeter-flavoured American oak. RWT is opulent and voluptuous, and fleshy where Grange is muscular.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"mb-4 ml-0\"\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"small text-muted pb-1\"\u003eDrinking Window: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e2023 - 2051\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736108822891,"sku":"SK16858565","price":450.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2021_Penfolds_RWT_Bin_798_Shiraz_1.5L_Magnum_Wooden_Box_3748c0fc-836c-4d60-b66c-b30446540156.jpg?v=1767586982"},{"product_id":"1997-mount-pleasant-maurice-oshea-shiraz-750ml","title":"1997 Mount Pleasant Maurice O'Shea Shiraz 750ml","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 1997 Mount Pleasant Maurice O’Shea Shiraz is a distinguished Hunter Valley release that pays tribute to Australia’s greatest winemaking pioneer.

Known for the elusiveness of its wines in the marketplace, the winery has cult status with the portfolio only released to an exclusive mailing list. The Wendouree property is more than 100 years old and its current owners, Tony and Lita Brady, have run the estate since 1974. The original stone winery at the estate is still used for production and Wendouree's 12 hectare (30 acre) vineyard is planted to old vine Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Mataro, and Muscat of Alexandria – most of which was planted in the late 1890s to early 1900s. The Wendouree vineyard is dry farmed and grapes are handpicked. In the winery, wines are fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top, stainless-steel fermenters. Post-ferment, French oak barrels are sourced for aging for up to 12 months. The winery produces around 2000 cases annually of varietal and blended wines including Shiraz Mataro, Shiraz Malbec, and Cabernet Malbec. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__image-desc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736111739243,"sku":"SK94973141","price":319.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/WendoureeShiraz750ml_1_62c11050-dfbb-46ce-9f0e-eb1c49714233.jpg?v=1767587098"},{"product_id":"1979-penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-750ml","title":"1979 Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo 1 *Very High Shoulder, Minor Label Damage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo. 2 Just Below Base of Neck Minor Label Damage Minor Label Stain\/s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer tasting notes: (1979 vintage) \"This vintage is teetering close to its end.

The winemaking process involves open fermentation in small tubs, followed by maturation in new French oak (approximately 50%) and seasoned barrels for 18 to 24 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrafted exclusively in the finest vintage years, the original 15 rows produce limited fruit, resulting in only 300 cases of this flagship wine released during successful years. Over the past two decades, only 11 vintages have been created.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis opulent and generous wine exhibits intense aromas of blackberry and roasted chestnut, complemented by cedary oak complexity, voluminous richness, and robust, gravelly tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cmslanding__image-title\"\u003eTOP VINTAGES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cmslanding__image-desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2015, 2014, 2012, 2008, 2006, 2004, 2001, 1998, 1997, 1996, \u003cstrong\u003e1995\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1994, 1992.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, discreet ochre rim.

Torbreck is actually named after the forest near Inverness, Scotland where the winery's founder, David Powell worked as a lumberjack after completing university studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking style at Torbreck is meticulous and dedicated to producing exceptional wines. They use carefully selected 225-litre oak barriques for maturation, known as Dominique Laurent 'Magic Casks'. The oak is personally harvested from Forêt de Tronçais in Allier, and the staves are aged for 48 to 54 months at an exposed location for maximum seasoning. The staves are then hand-made into barrels and heated over three differing flames for several hours, resulting in a gentle toast due to the remarkable density of the wood. Torbreck's winemaking style reflects their commitment to producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Barossa region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736119669099,"sku":"SK99071470","price":449.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/TorbreckRunrigshirazviognier_b7575bca-4f2d-4d4d-a4fd-57891fb785ce.jpg?v=1767587208"},{"product_id":"2021-elderton-command-single-vineyard-shiraz-1-5l-magnum","title":"2021 Elderton Command Single Vineyard Shiraz 1.5L Magnum","description":"\u003cp\u003eElderton's Command Shiraz is one old school Barossa Shiraz. Named because of the special treatment the quality fruit 'commanded', this is a Shiraz of foreboding concentration. The fruit for this 'Excellent' Langton's classified Australian icon comes from the century old Elderton vineyard located on the banks of the Para River and is matured in a mixture of French and American oak. This allows the wine to retain its driven power while also giving the wine a level of complexity and balance unique to this region and producer. Elderton's Command can be enjoyed by lovers of ripe and rich fruit early, yet will reward the truly patient with a wine of true beauty when left alone to mature for a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking Window: 2024-2041\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstate grown on the Nuriootpa vineyard, the fruit is sourced from a single block planted in 1894, classed as an Ancestor vineyard by the Barossa Old Vine Charter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second generation of Ashmead family, and Elderton Co-Managing Directors, Allister and Cameron, as the current custodians of a rare piece of Barossa Valley viticultural heritage, continue their parents’ aspirations and expectations to produce a great wine of the world.
