PenfoldsSt Henri Shiraz 1986
Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazSt Henri was developed in the mid 1950s by John Davoren, a contemporary of Max Schubert, who set out to create a wine which captured the richness of ripe Shiraz without oak influence and had the capacity to support extended cellaring. The first commercial release of St Henri was the 1957 vintage in 1958. The St Henri style is in distinct contrast to Grange and Penfolds overall wine-making style, with the wine matured mostly in large, 2000 litre oak casks which impart almost no wood character. In style, St Henri is an elegant wine that relies on varietal definition and structure.
