Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2018

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2018

St Henri is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. Released for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s, 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.
Deep inky blood-red colour. Spice, savoury and herbaceous on the nose, while the palate shows juicy fruit characters of plum, fig and rhubarb compliments by mouth-watering, finely etched tannins.
Peak drinking: Now - 2055.

Penfolds Grange Shiraz Gift Box 2017

Penfolds Grange Shiraz Gift Box 2017

The most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and structured shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines.
Bright and lively crimson-red colour. Savoury on the nose, undercut by subtle sweet and spicy notes of vanillin, sandalwood and cumin. The palate is laden with red fruit typical of its Barossan and McLaren Vale origins, with hints of red and black liquorice, malt, and dark chocolate.
Peak drinking: 2027 - 2060.

Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

 

Bin 707 is a perfect cabernet sauvignon representation of Penfolds ‘House Style’: intensely-flavoured fruit; completion of fermentation and maturation in new oak; expressing a Penfolds understanding of multi-vineyard, multi-region fruit sourcing. Bin 707 was first vintaged in 1964. Full-bodied and with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 retains a secure place among the ranks of Australia’s finest cabernets.
Dense and dark red colour. The nose features floral notes of violet and lavender undercut with black olive and cigar leaf. The palate is plush and solid, with "terra rossa" dustiness peaking through.
Peak drinking: 2025 - 2050.

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2016

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2016
St Henri is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual among high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak. A wine that immediately invokes interest, black cherry, mulberry, blackcurrant, boysenberry and more are propelled from the glass. A subliminal waft of stare anise and savoury spices (not sweet) hover above. On the palate, red and dark-fruited, a compote of fresh prune and quince. 2016 + tempered shiraz + House Style + Penfolds = an assured St Henri collectable. Peak drinking 2022 - 2055.

Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2019

Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2019

The initials RWT stand for ‘Red Winemaking Trial’, the name given to the project internally when developmental work began in 1995. RWT is made from fruit primarily selected for its aromatic qualities and plush texture. The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa shiraz at the highest quality level. Built for the long haul, with the precision, concentration and balance to age for many years.
Onyx, ruby rimmed colour. Floral and berry notes on the nose, with a palate of dark cherry and blackcurrant fruits affording viscosity and concentration.

Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Bright plum in colour, Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon displays delicate notes of mint and blackcurrant, with a more savory bouquet of semi-dried tomatoes and fruit chutney at the end. A hint of oak and spice adds extra warmth. On the palate a flavour-wheel of spearmint, milo powder, chocolate and black liquorice.
