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.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Has a whisk of 3% cabernet to accompany the shiraz, the grapes from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, Robe and the Clare Valley. In the manner of all St Henris, matured for 13 months in 50yo oak vats (1460l). This is an exercise on a chequer board of savoury/smoky black fruits with firm, but polished, tannins. A great St Henri that will come into its own in a bare minimum of 10 years, and live long thereafter.
