A true Penfolds classic, St Henri Shiraz offers a distinctive alternative to the renowned Grange style. First released in the 1950s, this time-honoured wine remains proudly independent of fashion, crafted without new oak and matured in large seasoned vats to preserve the purity, texture and character of exceptional Shiraz. The 2018 vintage reveals a complex bouquet of black olive, wild rocket, fig, rhubarb, cinnamon and savoury Mediterranean notes. The palate is rich and layered, with flavours of white plum, fresh fig, liquorice and toasted pumpkin seed supported by finely etched tannins and refreshing acidity. Plush yet refined, St Henri combines generosity with remarkable longevity, rewarding both immediate enjoyment and careful cellaring through to 2055.
