{"product_id":"penfolds-st-henri-shiraz","title":"Penfolds St Henri Shiraz","description":"\u003cp\u003ePenfolds St Henri Shiraz is a time-honoured and alternative expression of shiraz, and an intriguing counterpoint to Grange. It is unusual amongst high quality Australian red wines as it does not rely on any new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased for the first time by Penfolds in the early 1950s (first commercial vintage 1957), 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSt Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters with age. It is matured in an assortment of old large vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of cabernet may sneak into the blend, the focal point for St Henri remains shiraz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone fruits and charcuterie savouries abound. Fresh acidity abetted by the cut-rhubarb noted aromatically above, and liquorice root. Toasted pumpkin seed flavours, tannin-dry yet not puckering. Mouth-watering, finely etched tannins ‘mist up’ the palate spectrum – a tactile fog!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOak – where art thou?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Australia, Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42245483626675,"sku":"","price":129.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/2002\/6803\/products\/PEN2017StHenriShz750FLCork.jpg?v=1767952249","url":"https:\/\/curatedwines.sg\/products\/penfolds-st-henri-shiraz","provider":"Curated Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
