Penfolds St Henri holds a special place in the hearts and minds of true Australian Shiraz lovers. Matured for 12 months in 50+ year old seasoned oak vats, St Henri has a track record for cellaring the envy of most. An elegant and pure tannin structure is what sets it apart from the rest of the Penfolds red wine range, but along with those building blocks comes velvet texture, opulence and generosity. This generosity is on full display with this 2008 coming from the vintage of 'two halves'. Peter Gago has stated the fruit used was all picked before the heatwave ensuring a trademark elegant St Henri, yet the opulence and viscosity is on full display.
