PenfoldsSt Henri Shiraz 2012
Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazSt Henri Shiraz is known to many to be the red wine drinkers' red wine. The traditional handling of this iconic wine first vinified in 1957 includes the maturation in 50 year old seasoned oak vats for over 12 months, imparting an elegance and femininity not usually associated with Penfolds. The 2012 St Henri is made from 100% Shiraz, showing traditionally rich and plush characteristics in its youth. Keep this one in the cellar for a couple of years and the soft, earthy, mocha-like characters will shine through.
