Ripe heart cherries and plum fruit on the nose, as well as a hint of black olives, Valrhona chocolate and candied violets in the background. A juicy palate that seems very harmonious and polished thanks to elegant tannins - seems almost light on its feet, mineral and persistent. Aged in large wooden barrels. Certain ageing potential.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — The Wine Front · 2011 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — CellarTracker · 2011 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePenfolds St Henri is a multi-regional South Australian blend, primarily based on Shiraz, although it still honours the original style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is matured in seasoned large oak vats for around 15 to 18 months before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith above-average winter rainfalls and cool conditions during spring, South Australian regions experienced a later budburst and varying disease pressures across the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeticulous vineyard management was critical. Multiple rain events required selective harvesting of pristine fruit, while lower baumés at harvest coincided with flavour development. With a focus on warmer regions, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley fruit sourcing prevailed, while a small addition of Adelaide Hills fruit provided heightened aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep plum red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vibrant.
