Experience the Classic Elegance of Saint Henri
Uncover the timeless charm of Penfolds Saint Henri Shiraz 2017, a wine that proudly continues the tradition of minimal oak influence. While many modern Shiraz wines embrace new oak, Saint Henri offers a counterpoint—one that focuses on varietal purity and regional expression.
