Tasting note
St. Henri is rich and exuberant in youth, but gains a soft, earthy, mocha-like character with maturity. It is aged in old 1,460 l wooden vats, which allow the wine to develop only a slight wood character, if at all. Although a small amount of Cabernet is sometimes used to improve the structure, St. Henri's focus remains on the Shiraz. In a magenta glass with a purple core. In the first second, the essence of St. Henri flows towards you! A heavenly scent of dark fruit sweets with star anise, fig, rounded off by herbs and spices such as thyme and cinnamon. When well ventilated, the wine develops aromas of smoked and fresh carpaccio with capers. Youthful on the palate. Large-scale and wide-sized. St. Henri wants to please everyone vegetarians taste pickled beets. Everyone who likes to eat meat, fine game and crispy roast beef. Wild, black currants and a compote of dark fruit provide a juicy fruit flavor. Silky tannins go hand in hand with an appetizing acidity.
Culinary recommendation
Goes well with game, beef, vegetables and roast beef.
Vinification
St. Henri is aged in old 1,460 l wooden vats, which enable the wine to develop only a slight wooden character, if at all. Although a small amount of cabernet is sometimes used to improve the structure, St. Henri's focus remains on Shiraz.
