Tasting Note

Nose - A wine that immediately invokes interest – its nose endearingly captivating/enticing/intriguing. Fruits propelled from glass – black cherry, mulberry, blackcurrant, boysenberry … and more. A subliminal waft of star anise and savoury spices (not sweet) hover above. With air/decant a perfumed zabaglione / crème anglaise / eggnog ‘creaminess’ also ascends. Palate - Instant delivery, demands attention. Engulfs palate ... ever so deftly. No intimidation. A pure-fruited retronasal continuum from the first sniff to the post-ingestion back-palate. No gaps – call it saturation or density/compaction sans ‘bigness’ – apportioned correctly. Red and dark-fruited, a compote of fresh prune and quince. 2016 + tempered shiraz + House Style + Penfolds = an assured St Henri collectable.

Product Notes

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz is an exquisite wine that is sure to tantalize even the most discerning wine connoisseur. This wine is made from 100% Shiraz grapes that have been carefully selected and handpicked from vineyards across the Barossa Valley and other select regions of South Australia. The wine is aged for 12 months using oak barrels, which imparts a smoky flavor that balances the fruitiness of the Shiraz grape. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture, boasting flavors of plum, blackberry, and spice. The finish is long and smooth, leaving a delightful aftertaste. Penfolds St Henri Shiraz is best enjoyed with grilled meats, hearty stews, or strong cheeses.

About the Winery

Penfolds

Penfolds is a renowned wine producer in Australia. It got established in 1844 in the capital city of Adelaide by Christopher Rawson Penfold. The winery’s story starts when Christopher and his wife, Mary Penfold, shifted from Angmering in West Sussex in the United Kingdom and moved to Australia. After they arrived, their family members helped them attain and acquire 500 acres of land and its estate at the base of the Mount Lofty Ranges.
