Tasting Notes:

The Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2019 is a masterful release that once again demonstrates why this label has long been celebrated as one of Australia’s most intriguing Shiraz expressions. Crafted from a blend of premium vineyards across McLaren Vale (25%), Barossa Valley (21%), Padthaway (20%), Wrattonbully (19%), and the Peninsulas near Port Lincoln, the fruit reflects the richness of diverse South Australian terroirs. Unlike many prestige wines, St Henri is matured for 12 months in large seasoned vats over 50 years old, ensuring the pure essence of Shiraz shines without the distraction of new oak.


Plum red with a crimson rim, the 2019 opens with classic St Henri aromatics: blackberry and mulberry layered with whipped cream, pomegranate, cranberry, and exotic spice. Notes of toasted fennel seed, dried mint, liquorice and paprika add complexity, while savoury hints of Greek lamb with oregano, charcuterie and burnished vintage leather deepen the profile. On the palate, there is a fine graphite core, silky dark cocoa tannins, and the weight of wild game—venison and braised hare—balanced by waves of sweet custard and Portuguese tart. The wine finishes with cleansing salinity and refreshing acidity, delivering structure, length, and finesse.


This vintage reflects the challenges of a hot, low-yielding season across South Australia, yet the result is outstanding quality, with intense colours, firm tannins and remarkable flavour concentration. True to style, St Henri remains restrained and timeless, promising to evolve beautifully in the cellar for decades.


Awarded 98 Points by Tony Love (Wine Pilot) and Ken Gargett (The World of Fine Wine), along with 97 Points from Nick Stock (JamesSuckling.com) and Huon Hooke (The Real Review), this is a benchmark Shiraz that deserves its reputation as a counterpoint to Grange and one of Australia’s great collectible reds.

Accolades & Awards:
98 Point Rated - Tony Love WinePilot 

"This can only ever be a stylistic expression of the shiraz variety, as sourcing from six SA districts eliminates regionality. (For the record, The Peninsulas is a defined GI region, this fruit coming from the outskirts of Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula.) The wine's point of difference within the Penfolds range is that it has no new oak maturation and spends only 12 months in large format seasoned vats. The results is a sophisticated, dark, almost mysterious shiraz, a wine with secrets within that one suspects will reveal great joys over the next 20 to 30 years, as its forebears have proved for more than half a century. For now, in and around the black fruits there are flint, mushroom, liquorice and roast meat notes. Plenty to unpack. A serious SA shiraz that remains a really enticing proposition."

98 Point Rated - Ken Gargett The World Of Fine Wine 

"Ïmmediately spicy and complex, this has a rich blackberry and dark-plum nose, together with dark-chocolate and tarry, earthy elements. The palate has a very rich, fleshy feel with such ripe dark-plum, dark-chocolate, blackberry and mulberry flavors on offer. Generous, yet balanced. A South Australian blend of McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and THe Peninsulas. Drink or hold."

97 Point Rated - Huon Hooke 

“Very deep, dark and concentrated colour; the bouquet very warm and ripe: baked fruits, ironstone, terracotta, baked earth, also graphite, the palate very full-bodied, dense and powerful, a big wine for St Henri, coating the mouth with tannins and concentrated flavour. Very long finish” 

95 Point Rated - Andrew Caillard 

"Deep crimson. Intense black cherry, blackcurrent, roasted walnut, cacao, herb garden aromas with cedar notes. Well concentrated sweet black cherry, blackcurrent, hint strawberry fruits, and jammy notes. Some dark chocolate chinotto flavours, fine loose-knit slinky texture, very good mid-palate richness and inky density. Finishes claret firm with roasted walnut notes and attractive mineral length. More bottle age will bring all the elements together. Very expensive. McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and emerging "The Peninsulas" zone of South Australia" 12 months in large, seasoned oak vats."

91 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion 

"A blend of fruit from McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and The Peninsulas. The only omission is Coonawarra. Matured as always in large old oak vats, although tweaking final blend decisions may have been difficult. I'm not convinced by this wine – there's fruit, then a pause, then tannins. Others will undoubtedly disagree."

19+/20 Points - Matthew Jukes

“With impeccable balance along the entire length of the prodigious flavour, this is a connoisseurs’ St Henri with an upright, stern and no-nonsense feel.  There is no trace of flirty fruit, nor is there any sense of excess ripeness, just mannerly, bookish order with toned, not over-worked muscle and little overt opulence.  With fascinating anti-fruit notes of spice, earth, dried leaves and chypre, this will be a slow-moving St Henri, and the grippy finish will allow it the time to mature slowly and with the utmost focus and determination towards being an admirably classic St Henri.”
