{"product_id":"penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-2022-red-wine","title":"Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2022 750ml (ABV 14%)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSt Henri is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual amongst high-quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters with age. It is matured in an assortment of old large vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of cabernet may sneak into the blend, the focal point for St Henri remains shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose -Instantly, recognisable as St Henri. The absence of new oak is a defining feature, a gentle swirl brings forth a pure expression of Shiraz. A joyous and ethereal fruit lift… First, raspberries, freeze-dried and dusted over coconut sponge. A scoop of wild berry gelato provides another layer of complexity. Closer inspection reveals scents of freshly roasted coffee beans and cinnamon tea cake. With a little air, savoury notes emerge. Carpaccio-like freshness, replete with marinated olives, peppers, and brine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate - The wine has a real presence, weighty yet buoyant. It has stature and confidence. There is a complex assortment of flavours vying for attention. Hazelnuts, macadamia, white chocolate, and Dutch liquorice are first noted. There is a lovely fruit saturation, reminiscent of Kir Royale cocktail, summer berry pudding, and melted chocolate. The tannins are ripe, fully integrated, and effortlessly anchor the fruit. A classic St Henri that delivers in the full flush of youth but promises so much more for those inclined to cellar this wine for a few decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eType: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lucacollections.com.au\/collections\/red-wine\" title=\"All Red Wine\"\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistillery: Penfolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penfolds","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":49536083329162,"sku":"penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-2022-red-wine750ml","price":88.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":49536083361930,"sku":"penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-2022-red-wineCase of 6","price":519.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5511\/6426\/files\/PenfoldsStHenriShiraz2022_v2_e59eb611-89c6-4cd2-98ca-6a6497286e88.jpg?v=1781411507","url":"https:\/\/lucacollections.com.au\/en-cy\/products\/penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-2022-red-wine","provider":"Luca Collections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
