The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name was given to the project internally when developmental work began in 1995. Naturally, now no longer a ‘trial’, 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 plush texture.
The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa Shiraz at the highest quality level. RWT wines are built for the long haul, with the precision, concentration, and balance to age for many years.
Super-premium shiraz, in intent and in the glass. Powerful to the point of portiness, indeed it’s almost tokay-like, with tea leaves and malt, plum, and roasted nut characters woven into licorice, cedar, and sweet blackberry. All the feels. All the things. This is steadfastly unsubtle. If it was a meal you wouldn’t slice it, you’d axe it. It’s so powerful, it hums. It’s going places but not in a hurry.
