PenfoldsSt Henri Shiraz 1963
About this product
St 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 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.
