Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2017

Penfolds St Henri 2017 is a reassuringly old-style St Henri, featuring a radiant redness oozing red-currants and rhubarb and earthy notes on the nose which are conveyed on the palate. A poised and balanced wine with firm, polished tannins. Cellar and enjoy in 10+ years. First created in the 50’s, St Henri is a time-honoured alternative expression of Shiraz. It is a unique style that hasn’t fallen victim to fashion or commercial meddling over the decades and holds its own whilst in the shadows of its Grange siblings. St Henri is made up of mostly shiraz, however sometimes includes some cabernet sauvignon to improve the structure.
