96 Points – James Halliday Wine Companion

“Deep magenta-splashed crimson in the glass, with fruit notes of satsuma plum, blackberry, blueberry and boysenberry. Hints of olive tapenade, baking spices, tea cake, roasting meats, earth and dark chocolate. Considerable fruit depth as it unfurls on the palate, with a ferrous edge to the tannin profile providing ample support. Finishes long, balanced and true.” — Dave Brookes

Winemaker's Notes

St Henri remains one of Penfolds’ most iconic reds—crafted without new oak, matured instead in large seasoned vats to showcase Shiraz in its purest form. The 2022 vintage is a symphony of fruit power and structural precision: plush and fruit-forward yet beautifully restrained. Raspberries, kirsch and cocoa intertwine with savoury layers of olive, pepper and spice. Tannins are ripe and fully integrated, anchoring the wine with strength and grace. True to tradition, it’s both commanding and understated, a wine built to age and reward patience.

Further Information About this Wine

Since its first release in the 1950s, St Henri has stood apart within the Penfolds portfolio as the elegant, oak-neutral expression of Australian Shiraz. Where Grange leans on new oak power, St Henri focuses on fruit purity, texture and timeless structure. The 2022 release continues this lineage, offering remarkable balance between generosity and finesse. Crafted from fruit drawn across South Australia’s finest regions, it carries the essence of Penfolds’ heritage and a confidence that only decades of mastery can deliver. St Henri is built for milestones—it’s a wine that commands attention now and rewards time immeasurably.

About Penfolds

About Barossa Wine Region

South Australia remains the spiritual heart of Australian Shiraz, encompassing iconic sub-regions such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Padthaway. Each contributes a distinct dimension to the blend—Barossa’s depth, McLaren’s plush fruit, Coonawarra’s structure, and Padthaway’s finesse. The 2022 season delivered near-perfect ripening conditions, producing Shiraz grapes with intensity, balance and varietal clarity. This combination of terroirs underpins Penfolds’ house style: multi-regional complexity anchored in consistency and excellence. The resulting wines reflect both place and purpose—crafted to endure and evolve for generations.
