Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2017 750ml showcases a classic, yet distinct style of Shiraz that stands out for its minimal oak influence and rich, pure fruit character. This vintage offers a sophisticated alternative for those who appreciate a more unadulterated expression of the grape.
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2019 750ml showcases a robust and textured red wine from Australia's renowned Penfolds winery. Known for its rich flavour and depth, this Shiraz is a standout choice for those who appreciate a full-bodied wine that pairs beautifully with hearty meals.
At once, substantial flavour coupled with a textural dynamic; mouth-filling, engulfing – opens up aka mid-symphony, no instrument idle. White stone fruits – just ripe nectarine and freshly-sliced peach, and the most subtle adornment of oak and zesty acidity. A wonderful line struts across the mid-palate, not brazenly, yet with real purpose/destination and persistence. Amplified innate potential; beautifully poised and defined. More? Enough will not be enough.
