winemaker's notes:
Penfolds Rawson's Retreat wines present classic single varietal and varietal blends in an approachable, fresh-flavoured style. Drawing on Penfolds' extensive vineyard resources, the wines offer a first-rate quality and value guarantee, presenting the drinker with an affordable taste of everyday Australian wine at its best.
The name Rawson's Retreat is an informal reference to the stone cottage built in 1845 by Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold at the famous Magill vineyard in Adelaide, where he, with wife Mary and daughter Georgina, had settled the year before and were to establish the Penfolds winery which still operates today.
Colour: Deep and bright youthful crimson with a purple edge.
Nose: Fresh and vibrant varietal merlot with heady aromas of summer pudding and berry coulis, diced with mint and blueberry.
Palate: A juicy, youthful and lively palate. Soft, ripe tannins court appealing varietal flavours of dark plums, raspberry and rhubarb. The wine has a medium to full body with a fleeting suggestion of savoury meats arousing further interest towards the finish.
Ideally suited to Lamb, Pasta
