Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2009 -DWWA Gold-


Penfolds http://www.penfolds.com/en/
$140-160 (Oct2012)

  • Category ; Still wine
  • Type of wine ; Red / Dry
  • Varietal ; Shiraz
  • Region ; Barossa Valley SA, Australia
  • Producer ; Penfolds
  • Alcohol Percentage ; 14.5%
  • Vintage ; 2009
  • Production method ; Four-day cold soak, five-day ferment with hand plunging two times per day in small two-tonne fermenters, then run off to oak. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrels – 80% French and 20% American, with about 80% new.
  • Tasting note ; Glossy. Deep red with a magenta rim. Varietal berried fruits laden with a spray of exotic spices from afar. Scents of red apple skin (Fuji, Pink Lady ?) and cold cured meats propelled. French oak makes a late appearance … a sesame/tahini guise, not that of cedar. Plush. Plummy, Persuasive. Convincingly Barossa by birthright and Penfolds by style: blueberry/ plummy fruits avec juniper; custom-built, trademark rich mid-palate. Charcuterie, cold (Polish) meat artefact that may well be Shiraz fruit-derived; moreover, peat/coal dust undertones that have, without doubt, been acquired courtesy of the oak and time. Tannins and a buoyant and balanced acidity court a long and persistent finish.
  • Drinking window ; Drink between 2020 and 2030
  • Serving suggestion ; Duck, red curry 'ice cream', split rice porridge, lychee, tamarind and pineapple, Rabbit, pork and duck terrine, Cassoulet

  • Varietal ; Shiraz
  • Region ; Barossa Valley SA, Australia

  • Alcohol Percentage ; 14.1%

  • Production method ; During fermentation on skins, temperatures were carefully controlled between 18-28°C for periods up to 15 days to ensure optimal colour, tannin and flavour extraction from the skins.

These components were matured in oak for up to 20 months.

A rich core of ripe black fruits, layered subtly with black pepper and restrained, stylish oak, supported by softly textured fruit tannins and concluding with a long, savoury finish.
