First crafted in the 1950s, St Henri is celebrated for its unique maturation in large, seasoned oak vats — a style that emphasises purity of fruit, savoury complexity and graceful ageing rather than the overt oak influence associated with many premium Australian Shiraz. The 2014 vintage is a standout modern release, offering depth, finesse and remarkable longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"1034\"\u003eThe 2014 growing season across South Australia was defined by mild conditions and an extended, even ripening period. These ideal conditions delivered fruit with excellent colour, aromatic lift and finely tuned tannin structure — qualities perfectly suited to the St Henri style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003eThe bouquet opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, black cherry, mulberry and blueberry compote. Notes of dried herbs, cocoa, anise, olive tapenade and warm earth add savoury layers. Subtle hints of peppercorn, leather and spice emerge with air, showcasing the wine’s elegant complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1779\"\u003eOn the palate, the 2014 St Henri is medium to full-bodied, plush and seamlessly textured. Pure, concentrated dark fruits glide across a velvety frame, supported by fine, beautifully integrated tannins. The absence of new oak influence allows the fruit and structure to shine, enhanced by gentle savoury undertones of roasted herbs, mocha, game and mineral earthiness. The finish is long, graceful and harmonious — a hallmark of the St Henri lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1781\" data-end=\"2017\"\u003eNow entering an exceptional drinking window, the 2014 vintage combines immediate drinkability with the capacity to evolve for decades. It remains a benchmark for collectors seeking the more restrained, classical face of Penfolds Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2199\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2030\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-regional South Australia\u003cbr data-start=\"2061\" data-end=\"2064\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2076\"\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shiraz (with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, typical)\u003cbr data-start=\"2140\" data-end=\"2143\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2143\" data-end=\"2155\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~14.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"2162\" data-end=\"2165\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2165\" data-end=\"2185\"\u003eDrinking Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Now – 2040+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2340\"\u003eA superbly balanced, elegant and age-worthy St Henri — showcasing purity, savoury complexity and the timeless appeal of this Penfolds icon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736084181355,"sku":"SK46688144","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2014_Penfolds_St_Henri_Shiraz_750ml.png?v=1780389816","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2014-penfolds-st-henri-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
