PENFOLDS RWT BIN 789

Penfolds RWT Bin 789 is a premium Australian Shiraz that was first released in 2000. This wine is produced by Penfolds, one of Australia's most iconic wineries, located in the Barossa Valley region of South Australia. Unlike Penfolds' Grange and St Henri wines, which are traditionally made from a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, RWT Bin 789 is a single-vineyard wine made entirely from Shiraz grapes. The grapes are sourced from vineyards that are carefully selected based on their climatic suitability and soil types. Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, fermented with selected yeasts, and aged for 16-18 months in 70% new, French oak hogsheads. The wine has a deep ruby color with an intense and complex aroma that combines blackberry fruit flavors with notes of spice and chocolate, along with some subtle oak-driven vanilla tones. The wine's flavor profile is defined by a combination of tightly packed dark fruits, firm tannins, and balanced acidity, giving it an impressively solid structure and long-lasting finish. RWT Bin 789 is a wine that is built to age, and like many other high-end Penfolds wines, it is a wine that will reward patience and cellaring. The wine typically reaches its drinking peak between 8-25 years after vintage. In conclusion, Penfolds RWT Bin 789 is a world-class Australian Shiraz that showcases the unique qualities of this particular grape variety and the quality of the winemaking traditions in the Barossa Valley. It is an elegant wine that offers complexity, depth, and balance, making it an excellent addition to any wine enthusiast's collection.
