2015 St Henri Shiraz, Penfolds, South Australia

Always our favourite from Penfolds, the 2015 is a classic St Henri. Purity and savouriness are the keywords here, with silky fruit and a saline finish dominating a beautiful Shiraz. Long and energetic, it’s a wine that punches well above its price point.

Tasting notes

Black olive and plum notes form the base of the 2015 Shiraz St Henri, a wine that sees no new oak (it's aged entirely in old foudres). This vintage includes 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives a bit of lift and a leafy, floral note on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, with a firm, structured feel and ample tannins to ensure 20-plus years of longevity.
