The lush, rich mouthfeel carries the blackberry, vanilla and chocolate flavors effortlessly across the palate into a long, toasty 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol ABV: 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003eVintage Notes\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eUncharacteristic cool weather and spring rains retarded vine development throughout the valley. This was exacerbated by high temperatures in January followed by rains in February and early March. The season finished warm and dry however, enabling a trouble-free final ripening, with 1999 fruit characteristically lighter than 1996 or 1998, but also brighter and more varietally distinct.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-content\"\u003eAgeing\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-more-line js-content\"\u003e14 months in 75% new and 25% two-year-old French oak.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736242221419,"sku":"SK81457819","price":188.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/1998PenfoldsRWTShiraz750ml_30a59140-7b5f-4bc3-9121-058f598f680c.jpg?v=1767591799","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/1999-penfolds-rwt-bin-798-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
