Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 2021 (Gift Boxed) is a prime example of the bold elegance the Barossa Valley is famous for. Born from the ‘Red Winemaking Trial’ (RWT) project, this contemporary, opulent, and finely tuned Shiraz was first launched in 2000 and has since redefined Barossa Shiraz at the highest quality level. A contrast to the muscular, assertive style of Grange, RWT focuses on finesse, balancing powerful fruit with fine tannins and rich texture, matured in French oak barrels to add complexity and depth. This wine offers an intriguing expression of the Barossa Valley’s terroir through a Penfolds and French oak lens.

Crafted primarily from Shiraz grapes selected for their aromatic qualities, varietal typicity, and plush texture, RWT Bin 798 showcases the full expression of the Barossa. While approachable on release, this Shiraz has the concentration and balance to age gracefully for many years. Presented in a luxurious gift box, the RWT Bin 798 is as much a treat for the eye as it is for the palate, making it a perfect choice for collectors or those celebrating an exceptional occasion.

Penfolds has been a pioneer in the world of winemaking since its establishment in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold. The company's success has been driven by a lineage of visionary winemakers who have pushed the development of the company to extraordinary, bold new heights. Mary Penfold's reign at the helm of Penfolds saw years of determination and endeavour, experimenting with new methods in wine production. In 1948, Max Schubert became the company's first Chief Winemaker and he propelled Penfolds onto the global stage with his experimentation of long-lasting wines - the creation of Penfolds Grange in the 1950s. Soon, the medals began flowing, and Grange quickly became one of the most revered wines around the world. In 2012, Penfolds released its most innovative project to date - 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends that have driven the company's success since its establishment in 1844.

At Penfolds, winemaking is not just about producing wine; it is about creating something extraordinary that endures. The philosophy behind Penfolds is grounded in a balance between tradition and innovation. Every bottle is a reflection of this philosophy, blending the art of winemaking with scientific precision and modern technology. Penfolds’ commitment to quality has seen generations of winemakers continually refine their craft, while their constant curiosity drives them to experiment and explore new possibilities. Penfolds wines are a celebration of the unique Australian terroir, harnessing the country’s diverse regions to produce wines of exceptional character and complexity.

Penfolds’ philosophy extends beyond just the winemaking process—it’s about creating wines that can be enjoyed today or cellared for future generations. With a focus on balance, structure, and depth, every bottle is designed to stand the test of time. Whether it’s a rich, full-bodied red or a crisp, elegant white, Penfolds wines are crafted to bring people together, to inspire conversations, and to be savoured and shared. Their ability to evolve and adapt, while maintaining a consistent commitment to quality, has solidified Penfolds as one of the world’s most respected and celebrated winemakers.
