    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Penfolds Saint Henri Shiraz 2022 is meticulous, beginning with hand-harvesting at optimal ripeness. The grapes are then destemmed and crushed before being placed in vats for controlled fermentation. Aging takes place in oak barrels, often previously used for several vintages, to refine the structure and enrich the aromatic profile without overpowering the fruit. This process results in a balanced wine where the fruit aromas are enhanced by delicate oak notes.
