Description

Discover Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz, a distinctive Australian red wine from South Australia that stands apart in the world of high-quality Shiraz. This 750 ml bottle, with its 14.5% ABV, captures a timeless style crafted without new oak, matured instead in old large vats to let the fruit shine through unadorned.

As a counterpoint to the iconic Grange, St. Henri Shiraz embodies a proud tradition, resisting fleeting trends in favor of authentic depth. Young bottles greet the palate with richness and plushness, evolving over time into layers of soft earthiness and mocha nuances.
