WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 2022 is produced from 100% Shiraz grapes sourced primarily from the Barossa Valley. The winemaking process emphasizes the selection of fruit for its aromatic qualities, varietal typicity, fine tannins, and plush texture. For the 2022 vintage, the wine underwent maturation for 14 months in French oak hogsheads, with 67% new and 29% one-year-old oak. This specific aging regimen in French oak is a key technique employed to shape the wine's character and distinguish it stylistically.
