About Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz

Extraordinary quality and wide diversity, these are the two premises Penfolds focusses on when making wines of the highest quality in South Australia. These are wines with their own style that, without blindly following trends, are always committed to innovation and are an international benchmark. The biggest champion of this is undoubtedly Penfolds’ current boss Peter Gago. A winemaker with more than 25 years of experience who, in keeping with the philosophy set by the winery’s first chief winemaker, Max Schubert, is expanding his range with blends from various vintages and is daring to take small steps towards Champagne and California. And although some always believe that growth is indirectly linked to maintaining quality, Gago is committed to diversifying sources at a time when climate change is already a reality.

When we talk about Penfolds, we are talking about a very specific style of Australian wine, but they do have some alternative wines, like Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz. An unusual wine among high quality Australian red wines because, on the one hand, it is produced only with the Syrah variety (when the typical Australian blend is Cabernet and Syrah) and because it does not rely on the new oak aging that is so common in Australia. In other words, an alternative wine that showcases a clean and polished expression of the Syrah. First launched by Penfolds in the early 1950s, it was not fully accepted until the 1990s, when the consumer understood that a wine does not have to succumb to the latest trends to be considered a good wine. Made from two special plots from a single vineyard, the grapes are fermented under temperature and humidity control. It is then aged for 19 months in French and American oak barrels over 50 years old to ensure that the wine develops with maximum expression of the fruit and minimal oak influence. As Peter Gago puts it, “Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz is a wine that can proudly sit at any table, in any establishment, anywhere.”

 

2017

Penfolds St. Henri Shiraz 2017 is a concentrated red wine with aromas of ripe black fruit accompanied by mocha notes and spicy hints. The palate is rich, bright and elegant. A medium-bodied wine with fruity acidity, silky tannins and a long and delightfully persistent finish.
