The Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 2018 hails from premium Barossa Valley vineyards where warm days and cool nights develop intense, concentrated grapes. This 2018 vintage opens with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate, and black pepper, complemented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak from careful maturation in French barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with velvety tannins supporting layers of ripe dark fruit, spice, and a subtle smokiness. The wine finishes long, elegant, and precise, reflecting the meticulous vineyard selection and Penfolds’ masterful winemaking. Ideal for both immediate enjoyment and medium- to long-term cellaring.
