Penfolds enjoys an iconic status that few New World producers have achieved and although Penfold's Grange is now seen as the quintessential Australian wine, St. Henri is a favourite in the Penfolds release for many. Indeed both these wines set new standards for their day with St. Henri establishing an elegant, perfumed style based on fruit definition and maturation in old oak. This is a South Australian blend of McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and The Peninsulas

Tasting Notes

"Immediately spicy and complex, this has a rich blackberry and dark-plum nose, together with dark-chocolate and tarry, earthy elements. The palate has a very rich, fleshy feel with such ripe dark-plum, dark-chocolate, blackberry and mulberry flavors on offer. Generous, yet balanced. " James Suckling 97/100

Press Comments

Erin Larkin 96+/100 The St Henri Shiraz is often one of my favorite reds in the Penfolds Collection, due to the ability of the fruit to shine through the fine sheath of oak that encases it. At this stage, and I know you will hear this often, the wine still represents good value. The 2019 St Henri Shiraz is elegantly structured, with the 2019 vintage showing the warmth and intensity without overstepping balance or line. Texturally, this will only increase in its silky shape, which comes with the gentle suggestion to decant this if you insist on drinking it within five years from harvest i.e., anytime from now to 2024). This 2019 is shaped by abundant red and purple fruit and a splash of blue), charry spice and fine tannins. Gorgeous. Drink 2022 - 2042
