Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2021 is a flagship Barossa Shiraz from Penfolds’ Red Winemaking Trial range. It delivers dense dark fruit, polished tannins, and a long, spicy finish, with oak integration that supports but doesn’t dominate. Built for cellaring, it pairs well with rich, roasted meats and aged cheeses.
