Established in 1844, Penfolds stands as one of Australia’s most historic and respected wineries. From early experimentation by Mary Penfold to the groundbreaking leadership of Max Schubert—creator of the iconic Grange, Penfolds has consistently pushed boundaries in quality and innovation. The winery’s heritage is built on craftsmanship, vision, and a commitment to producing wines that achieve worldwide recognition while remaining true to their South Australian roots.

Penfolds St Henri 2017 is a compelling choice for those who value tradition, restraint, and longevity in Australian red wine. Crafted in a classic house style that favours large, old oak vats over new barrels, it allows the Shiraz fruit to speak with clarity and confidence rather than oak influence. The 2017 vintage is widely regarded as one of balance and structure, making this bottle suitable both for drinking now with food or for cellaring with confidence. For collectors, it represents continuity in the Penfolds portfolio and an expression that often rewards patience, while for drinkers it offers a refined, distinctly Australian alternative to more heavily oaked styles.
