Named after the family cottage built by Penfolds founder Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold in 1845, Rawson's Retreat honours the winery's rich heritage while offering an approachable taste of classic Australian winemaking. This Merlot reveals layers of dark plum and ripe cherry, complemented by subtle spice and savoury oak. Soft, silky tannins create a balanced palate and a smooth, satisfying finish, making it a versatile red that pairs effortlessly with roast meats, pasta dishes and everyday favourites.
