✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Born from an internal project initiated in 1995, the 'Red Winemaking Trial' (RWT) was designed to redefine Barossa Valley Shiraz. While Penfolds' flagship Grange represents a multi-regional blend matured in American oak, RWT was conceived as its stylistic antithesis: a single-region Barossa Shiraz aged exclusively in fine French oak hogsheads. First released with the 1997 vintage, this wine immediately captivated collectors with its opulent, fleshy texture, vibrant blue fruit aromatics, and velvety tannins. In 2016, Penfolds officially designated it 'Bin 798' to integrate it into their classic bin numbering system, though it remains affectionately known by its trial moniker. It stands as a masterclass in how French oak can frame and elevate the natural opulence of Barossa's old-vine Shiraz.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Penfolds blev grundlagt i 1844 af dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold og hans hustru Mary på Magill Estate i South Australia og er i dag et af Australiens ældste og mest ikoniske vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede legendarisk international anerkendelse i 1950'erne under den visionære chefvinmager Max Schubert, som skabte Penfolds Grange og revolutionerede landets vinfremstilling. Drevet af en berømt filosofi om at blande på tværs af regioner og druesorter udvælger Penfolds enestående druer fra historiske australske terroirs – herunder Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale og Coonawarra – samt fra udvalgte internationale topområder. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for kraftfulde, upåklageligt strukturerede og særdeles lagringsværdige vine anført af flagskibet Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon og den berømmede Bin-serie.
