WINE MAKING PROCESS
Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet is produced through a multi-regional blending approach, drawing grapes from various vineyards across South Eastern Australia. Fermentation occurs in small wood vats under controlled temperatures. Following fermentation, the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks and 25% French and American oak barrels for several months. This process is guided by Penfolds' philosophy of creating balanced, approachable, and flavorful Australian wines suitable for current consumption.
