About This Wine
A benchmark of Penfolds tradition, St Henri Shiraz is a multi-regional South Australian blend that celebrates structure and fruit purity rather than oak influence.
Made from 96% Shiraz and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine was matured for 12 months in large, seasoned oak vats over 50 years old — preserving varietal integrity while developing exceptional texture.
With a drinking window extending to 2045, the 2013 vintage represents a bold yet elegant expression of South Australian Shiraz, highly prized by collectors.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep magenta with a purple core.
Nose: Classic St Henri perfume of black jellybean, star anise, fig paste, dried herbs, and cinnamon. Notes of cured meat and brine add savory depth.
Palate: Voluminous and textural — layers of blackberry compote, dark plum, and roasted game. A silky tarry richness balanced by mouth-watering acidity. Expansive, velvety, and beautifully integrated.

Vintage Notes
A dry South Australian winter reminiscent of 2006 led to early budburst and a compact harvest.
