St Henri is Penfolds' fascinating counterpoint to Grange, proving that great Australian Shiraz doesn't need new oak to achieve greatness. This wine sees only old wood, allowing the fruit to speak with remarkable clarity while developing the savoury complexity that makes it so distinctive.

The 2018 shows all the hallmarks we love about this wine: dense dark fruit married to earthy, almost leathery undertones, with that signature fine-grained tannin structure that sets it apart. It's drinking beautifully now but has the backbone to reward patience until 2040.
