Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2023 750ml

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2023 is produced by Penfolds in South Australia and continues the distinctive St Henri tradition of showcasing Shiraz with minimal oak influence. The 2023 vintage is matured in large, seasoned oak vats, allowing the fruit, savoury complexity and fine tannin structure to remain at the forefront.

The appearance is deep crimson with youthful purple and garnet hues.

The nose is layered and expressive, with blackberry, blueberry and dark plum fruit accompanied by liquorice, warm spice, dried herbs and savoury nuances. Subtle earthy and meaty characters add complexity without overt oak aromatics.

The palate is rich yet composed, with concentrated black and blue fruits supported by savoury spice, liquorice and fine earthy complexity. The characteristic St Henri maturation in large seasoned vats keeps oak firmly in the background, while fine, persistent tannins and fresh acidity provide structure, balance and length.

A refined and distinctive 2023 Shiraz that delivers the fruit purity, savoury depth and understated oak character synonymous with St Henri, with the structure to develop gracefully in the cellar.
