Penfolds RWT Shiraz is the flagship Barossa Shiraz from Penfolds, crafted from premium sites and aged to harmonize dense dark fruit with spice and oak. A long, refined maturation in French and American oak yields a powerful yet elegant wine with notable aging potential. Ideal with roasted lamb, braised beef, and game dishes; cellaring 15–25 years depending on vintage.
