About this wine
LANGTONS Cape Mentelle Shiraz 2020 with St Henri 2020 upgrade 6 pack
This ultra-limited pack pairs an underrated Margaret River gem with one of Australia's most iconic and collectible Classified wines. We start with five bottles of Cape Mentelle's Shiraz from Margaret River, a hidden gem that showcases the unique maritime climate of the region, offering complex flavours and a distinctive wine style. The wine has vibrant characteristics like dark plums, spices, and white pepper, with a textural palate that reflects the ocean-influenced terroir of Margaret River.
Now onto the upgraded bottle of Penfolds St Henri from 2020. Grange and St Henri once were equals. But as Grange's fame grew, St Henri was eclipsed. Now St Henri is again re–emerging from the shadow of Grange. Matured in large, old vats that impart little or no oak character, St Henri is Shiraz au naturel. '…a wine of effortless, refined persistence', says Tyson Stelzer, '…with a silky, supple mouth feel and yet somehow still firm and enduring'. Says James Halliday: 'A great St Henri that will come into its own in a bare minimum of 10 years, and live long thereafter'.

James Halliday
CAPE MENTELLE Shiraz, Margaret River 2020
Jane Faulkner: An amazing bright colour for starters, all dark purple shot with black and red. The delight continues across a fuller-bodied palate that's full of dark plums, cloves, turmeric and Sichuan pepper – a bit of excitement here. The tannins are shapely, slightly grainy and everything comes to play a harmonious chord.

PENFOLDS St. Henri Shiraz, South Australia 2020
Andrew Caillard MW: Deep crimson. Fragrant inky, blackberry, graphite aromas with hints of roasted walnut and spice. Complex and evolved with blackberry, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, chinotto flavours, fine loose knit lacy chalky firm tannins, and underlying graphite, walnut notes. Finishes claret firm and tight. A refined style with lovely complexity and mineral length. Should develop very well. 100% Shiraz, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, 12 months maturation in large seasoned oak vats. Drink 2025 – 2040 14.5%

Halliday Wine Companion
PENFOLDS St. Henri Shiraz, South Australia 2020
Dave Brookes: St Henri has always been one of my favourite Penfolds wines. A multiregional shiraz aged for 12 months in large, old oak vats, I was always enamored with its less percussive attributes and proven lineage of cellar worthiness. Crimson with pure notes of plum compote, cherry clafoutis, roasting meats, earth, spice, ironstone, mocha, pan juices and the fainest wisp of wintergreen. It's such a comforting wine, with its unobstructed view of fruit and vintage, finishing savoury with powdery tannin grip and a dusting of cocoa powder and coal dust. Lovely stuff.
