Regionally distinct, the Barossa Valley's signature is evident in an aromatic blend of dark berries, plum, cherry, warm spice, tobacco, and floral violets. Subtle hints of vanilla and restrained French oak add depth.

Generous and enveloping tannins create a sturdy foundation for a palate showcasing blue fruits, boysenberry, plum, and mulberry – the unmistakable RWT signature. Sweet notes of crème brûlée and panforte mingle with exotic spice and cedary oak, delivering a complex and true-to-origin tasting experience.
Aged for 16 months in a mix of new and one-year-old French hogsheads, this wine showcases a deep color with a brilliant crimson rim, indicating its quality. The exclusive use of French oak, a deliberate choice since the inaugural 1997 vintage of RWT, distinguishes it among Penfolds' red wines.
