Just release from the cellar, RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz is entering its next phase of evolution—showing greater depth, harmony and refinement while retaining its signature power and precision. The once-vibrant nose has settled into a savoury complexity: cured meats, green olive, rosemary and subtle tar now merge with warm patisserie notes of cinnamon pastry, burnt sugar and toasted French oak. The palate remains medium-bodied but has broadened in texture, with the acidity softening and the chalky tannins now more integrated. The French oak influence is seamless, lending structure without overwhelming. Still showing vitality, but now unfolding the layered character that defines RWT’s long-lived style. A poised and elegant expression of single-region Barossa Shiraz, with many graceful years still ahead.

The storied vineyards of France famously gave Max Schubert his inspiration for Grange. With this release we head back to France for the inaugural FWT 543 release. A classic Australian blend of structural Cabernet Sauvignon and rich, textural Syrah, reimagined in a French context. Fruit sweetness intertwines with brioche oak and lively acidity for a sensory delight.

Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine. Crafted with intensely structured shiraz grapes for an Australian style recognised as one of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and South Australia.

A swirl reveals a spice bazaar with baking spices, clove, and icing sugar. Herbal rosemary, beeswax, and floral nuances of olive tree bloom with juniper berry, Sicilian green olive tapenade, beef carpaccio, and dry cured duck. The palate delivers sweet and sour Amarena cherries, red cherry, and strawberry, balanced by bay leaf and chocolate mint.

Introducing Bin 389 Designed by Troye Sivan, a fresh expression of a timeless icon. This limited-release gift celebrates connection, creativity and the memories that linger long after the glass is empty. The 2023 vintage encased within each box combines the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of South Australian Shiraz, delivering dark fruit complexity, fine tannins and a long, savoury finish. Made for memories and destined to be shared. The nose is greeted by a hallmark bouquet featuring dark fruit aromas of blackberries and plums, complemented by shaved dark chocolate and Black Forest cake. Aromatic dried herbs and a hint of boot polish add depth, with fine, toasty oak discreetly folded into the fruit.

The Penfolds RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz is a poised and elegant single-region expression, now beautifully entering its next phase of evolution. Retaining its signature power and precision, this concentrated wine delivers immense depth and harmony. The core of black plum jam is enriched by seamless French oak, revealing layered notes of mocha, dark chocolate, and cedar. Perfectly balanced, the tannins melt across the mouth, creating a refined and long-lived style that is drinking superbly now and promises many more graceful years ahead.

Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon brings together Northern Hemisphere excellence with flagship-worthy South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich and opulent, it reveals dark berry fruit, refined tannins, and impressive depth, capturing the artistry of cross-continental winemaking and Penfolds’ innovative ethos.

Penfolds Reserve Bin A stands as a benchmark for single-region Australian chardonnay. Sourced exclusively from cool-climate vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, this cuvée showcases the natural tension and power achieved in South Australia’s elevated sites. The winemaking team applies rigorous traditional methods. Hand-picked grapes are whole-bunch pressed directly into French oak barriques for wild fermentation on solids. Full malolactic fermentation and regular lees stirring build texture, depth and structure while preserving regional purity. The nose delivers aromas of white peach, grapefruit, toasted cashew and a signature struck-match complexity. On the palate, a rich, creamy texture balances against a driven line of natural citrus acidity, finishing with persistence and poise.
