2006 Penfolds St Henri
Varietal | Shiraz 89%, Cabernet Sauvignon 11%.
Region | Multi-regional blend. Barossa, McLaren Vale, and Robe, South Australia
Vintage | 2006
St 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. Released for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s (first commercial vintage 1957), it gained a new lease of life in the 1990s as its quality and distinctive style became better understood. Proudly, a wine style that hasn’t succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce.
Penfolds St Henri is a multi-regional South Australian blend, primarily based on shiraz, although it still honours the original style. The wine is matured in seasoned large oak vats for around 15 to 18 months before bottling. St Henri Shiraz possesses a unique stature in the story of Australian wine. With its proven style and aging potential, it is a favourite among Penfolds collectors.
