Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2021

Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2021 is a distinguished, time-honoured Australian red wine from the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale that eschews new oak for pure fruit expression: on the nose it shows raspberry liquorice and white chocolate layered with nutmeg, toasted fennel seeds, and savoury undertones of artisanal pastrami; the palate is deep and sophisticated, with flavours of wild cherry and vibrant pomegranate supported by hints of golden custard tarts, toasted sourdough, and a distinct ironstone minerality, while masterfully integrated, velvety tannins provide exceptional structure; the finish is long and refined, making it a perfect pairing for roast lamb, Mediterranean cuisine, and mature Red Leicester.
