With its proven style and ageing potential, St Henri holds a unique stature in the story of Australian wine and remains a favourite among Penfolds collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the best vintages of recent times. The season began with much needed rain during autumn and winter, followed by a mostly cool and dry spring, and concluded with ideal conditions of reasonable soil moisture and mild to warm weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDense red with purple hues near the rim. Lively, rich and concentrated raspberry and blueberry characters leap from the glass, layered with complex spices of cinnamon and ginger, fruitcake nuances and savoury charcuterie notes. The palate is tight, complex and stylish, with dark plum and prune flavours supported by anise, liquorice and fennel subtleties. Fruit-derived, pronounced and angular tannins suggest a wine of excellent balance and mouthfeel, a St Henri trademark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Shiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: South Australia \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard \/ Geo info: Adelaide Hills \/ Barossa Valley \/ McLaren Vale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweetness: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity TA: 7.1 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcidity pH: 3.47\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 12 months in large wood vats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction Attributes: American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinemaker: Peter Gago\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwnership: Treasury Wine Estates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Cork or screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52895843287403,"sku":"SK54419743","price":620.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/127_PENFOLDS_St._Henri_Shiraz_South_Australia_1996_Magnum.png?v=1780389345","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/1996-penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-1-5l-magnum-timber-case","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
