| Palate: 'Made in the original style - nothing has changed" Peter Gago |
| Highlights: Penfolds St Henri is a highly Successful and alternative Expression of Shiraz and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual among high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. It was created in the early 1950s (first commercial vintage 1957) and gained a new lease of life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood.
St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy,
mocha-like characters as it ages. It is matured in old, 1460-litre
vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak
character. Although a small proportion of Cabernet is sometimes used to improve structure, the focal point for St Henri remains
Shiraz.
"Drinking well upon release, yet this will cellar - as per its
template. Over half a century on - the St Henri stylistic stamp
remains indelible."
Peter Gago - Penfolds Chief Winemaker |
