Our Notes
The St Henri, aged in older wooden vats, matures with a less intense oak influence than other barrel-aged Penfolds reds, allowing more grape character to shine through. Notes of chocolate and coffee shine through and will continue to develop with age.
From The Winemaker
St Henri is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual amongst high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. Released for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s (first commercial vintage 1957), it gained a new lease of life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood. Proudly, a wine style that hasn't succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters with age. It is matured in an assortment of old large vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of cabernet may sneak into the blend, the focal point for St Henri remains shiraz.Delivery varies by location, please see the expected timeframe to receive your product below:
