Stylistically, RWT is contemporary, opulent and finely tuned. An interesting contrast to the well-established Grange, which is more concentrated, muscular and assertive in style. RWT is made exclusively from Barossa Valley shiraz grapes primarily selected for their aromatic qualities, varietal typicity, fine tannins and plush texture. Maturation in French oak provides another contrast to Grange.

The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in the early 1990s. It was launched in May 2000 with the 1997 vintage. Since the 2014 vintage it has been allocated Bin number 798, based on the alpha-numeric telephone punch dial for RWT.

While delightfully approachable on release, RWT Bin 798 has the concentration and balance to age for many years – the best vintages will last at least 30.
