Description
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz stands as an eloquent testament to a winemaking philosophy that champions the subtler aspects of the craft. Renowned for its distinctive style that shuns the use of new oak, St Henri offers an alternative expression of Australian Shiraz that's defined by elegance, purity, and a profound connection to its terroir.
Presented in the glass, the wine boasts a deep garnet hue, reflecting a depth of character and a promise of layers to be unveiled. The nose is greeted with a bouquet that is both intricate and inviting: an array of red and black fruits, with cherries, raspberries, and blackberries taking center stage. These are complemented by hints of star anise, earthy undertones, and a whisper of cured meats, creating an aromatic tapestry that beckons further exploration.
Upon tasting, St Henri's signature elegance is immediately evident. The fruit profile is vibrant and lively, with a fresh red berry character that is beautifully balanced by nuances of mocha, spice, and a hint of leather. In lieu of the overt oak notes often found in its counterparts, St Henri offers a silken texture and a finesse that showcases the grape's inherent qualities. The tannins, though present, are fine-grained and seamlessly integrated, leading to a finish that is long, graceful, and resonant.
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz is a celebration of winemaking that respects the grape, the place, and the tradition. Whether paired with game dishes, aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed in quiet contemplation, it serves as a reminder that true greatness often lies in the nuances, in the quiet whispers that speak louder than the loudest shouts.
