Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2023 750ml (ABV 14.5%)

Grape Variety - Shiraz

Vineyard Region - McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Frankland River, Port Lincoln, 
Padthaway

Maturation - 12 months in large, seasoned oak vats

Nose - Brooding and complex, layers of black and blue fruits unfold 
alongside dark spices and lightly roasted coffee beans. 
Mineral and savoury notes emerge; wet steel on oilstone, ferric 
ironstone and flint are interwoven with a subtle suggestion of 
cordite smoke. Exotic herbal notes evoke a visit to a traditional 
apothecary, while fresh nettles and oolong black tea add further 
allure. Accents of goji berry add lift and aromatic tension.

Palate - Juicy and generous yet firmly structured. A deep, dark fruit 
profile is matched by the umami savouriness of rare steak and 
an olive-brined undertone. Tannins are impeccable – tight, 
finely woven and assured, drawing the palate long and detailed. 
Nuances of Chinese tea, fennel and liquorice provide precision 
and persistence, finishing with restraint, depth and unmistakable 
St Henri authority.
