Old-vat Shiraz with a voice of its own.
Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2022, presented in a gift box, is a full-bodied red wine known for its purity and elegance. It is a powerful reminder that great Australian Shiraz doesn’t need new oak to speak volumes. First released in 1957, St Henri has always played the quiet counterpoint to Grange—eschewing flash for integrity, and fashion for legacy. The 2022 vintage continues this tradition, offering richness and density without excess, matured in large seasoned vats that allow fruit and site to lead.
It’s a style that has remained consistent for over 60 years: plush, earthy and honest, with fine tannins and mocha-like evolution in the cellar. Though a whisper of Cabernet Sauvignon may find its way into the blend, Shiraz remains the driving force—sourced from a spread of top South Australian regions, including Barossa, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully.
Drink now for vibrant fruit and soft grip, or cellar for up to 20 years to see its layers deepen. A serious wine with an unpretentious soul.

The 2022 is instantly recognisable as St Henri, a classic vintage that delivers in youth but promises to reward patience over the next two to three decades. Richly layered and fruit‑forward, plush, and quietly powerful.
There is an immediate allure to St Henri 2022… a bouquet of magnificent black fruits of all kinds, violets and dark chocolate… Fine, firm tannins carry a long and graceful finish. One of the greats.
Concentrated boysenberries, Java plums…and peppered earth… velvety tannins and fruit roll along… that is where the seriousness and durability of this wine lay.
There is very good length here, along with balance and intensity, sleek tannins and a lingering finish… perhaps a little more powerful than some recent releases… it will provide pleasure for at least twenty years.
This is an utterly mesmerising St. Henri. It is complete, thrillingly balanced and sumptuously rewarding. It might be the most immediately enjoyable St. Henri of all time! A truly individual expression—deeply flavoured, texturally indulgent and refreshingly oak‑free. Delivers power with grace, showing ripe fruit, seamless flow and confident restraint. A benchmark St Henri that stands apart from its stablemates.
Founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds has grown from a small colonial winery into one of Australia’s most significant wine producers. Its history has been shaped by generations of winemakers willing to challenge convention while preserving a remarkably consistent approach to style and quality.
Mary Penfold played a defining role in the winery’s early development, overseeing production and experimenting with grape varieties and winemaking techniques as the estate expanded. A century later, Max Schubert would transform Penfolds again. Appointed the company’s first Chief Winemaker in 1948, his ambition to create an Australian red capable of developing over decades led to the first experimental Grange in 1951.
That spirit of experimentation has continued through successive generations of Penfolds winemakers. From benchmark Australian wines including Grange, St Henri and Bin 707 to contemporary projects extending beyond Australia, the House has continued to evolve while maintaining a winemaking lineage stretching back more than 180 years.
Penfolds has long approached wine differently. Rather than defining its greatest wines exclusively through a single vineyard or region, the House has built its reputation around a philosophy of blending across vineyards, districts and, where appropriate, regions to achieve a consistent expression of style.
This approach allows the winemaking team to select fruit according to quality and character rather than geography alone. South Australia remains fundamental, with regions including the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills contributing distinctive elements across the portfolio. Individual vineyards also play important roles, including the historic Magill Estate and Kalimna Vineyard.
Continuity is equally important. Each generation of Penfolds winemakers inherits established wine styles rather than simply imposing its own, refining them as vineyards, vintages and winemaking evolve. Structure, balance and the capacity to develop with age remain central to many of the House’s most important wines.
Today, that philosophy extends from Australia to winemaking projects in California, France and China. The geography may have expanded, but the underlying idea remains recognisably Penfolds: sourcing exceptional fruit and bringing its components together to create a wine greater than any single element.
Black cherries, cocoa dust, charcuterie and dark spices unfold with time in glass.
Generous red and black fruits wrapped in soft tannins and subtle earthy undertones.
Notes of mocha, dried herbs and gentle pepper trail out in a savoury glide.
