Rotwein Henschke Cellars Abbotts Prayer Australien 14 Vol.%
Der australische Rotwein Henschke Abbotts Prayer ist ein Blend aus den Traubensorten:
- 59% Cabernet Sauvignon
- 41% Merlot
Lenswood Vineyard, ein einmaliger Weinberg mit ganz besonderen Eigenschaften. Er liegt in einer leicht kühleren Zone, genau 550m über Meer in der südaustralischen Weinregion Adelaide Hills. Die Niederschläge sind – zur rechten Jahreszeit – leicht höher als in anderen Regionen. Genügend Sonnenschein garantiert ein volles Ausreifen der Weintrauben. Die kühlere Temperatur verleiht dem Rotwein-Blend Henschke Lenswood Abbotts Prayer die nötige Rasse und Eleganz. Die Henschke-Weinberge werden heute von Viticulturist PRUE HENSCHKE, Ehefrau des heutigen Besitzers STEPHEN HENSCHKE, nach strengen biodynamischen Prinzipien gepflegt und gehegt.
Nach der Mazeration (Extraktion der Farb-, Aroma- und Gerbstoffe aus den Traubenhäuten und der Fermentation in offenen Tanks, wurde der Rotwein Henschke Abbotts Prayer für 18 Monate in 41% neuen und 59% gebrauchten französischen Nevers- und Vosges-Eichen Weinfässern - French Oak Hogsheads - ausgebaut.
Dieser australische Rotwein Henschke Abbotts Prayer zeigt sich rubinrot, Bouquet nach Veilchen und Maulbeeren, feine Vanilletöne, reiches, volles Aroma, mit samtigen Tanninen und langem Abgang.

WINEMAKERS NOTES Stephen Henschke:
Fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke and his wife Prue selected Lenswood in 1981 as a new vineyard site, just 50km from the ancient Mount Edelstone and Hill of Grace vineyards in the Eden Valley. At 550m, the Lenswood vineyard slopes offer not only beautiful views toward the old vine country but also higher rainfall and humidity at the right time of year, cooler temperatures to retain natural acidity, and still enough sunshine to fully ripen the grapes. The Abbotts Prayer label links together the history, religion and pioneers of this mountainous region. The property along Coldstore Road, including the vineyards in the area originally known as Abbotts Flat, was established in the late 1800s and pioneered by the first settler, T N Mitchell.
The 2013 harvest was expected to be early, with the Easter full moon very close to the autumn equinox, and sure enough budburst started early in spring 2012. All varieties woke to a cool and mild spring, with cabernet the last to greet the sun on October 1. A snow flurry in early October led into a mild November, with warm days and nights providing excellent conditions for flowering. Set was excellent across all varieties. Spring was conspicuous for its dryness but thankfully frost free, and as summer approached the vines developed beautifully balanced canopies and rain was just a distant memory. It was not to rain again until the end of harvest, seven dry months that produced a green drought. As harvest time approached, it was abundantly clear that 2013 was going to be exceptional in terms of yield and quality across all varieties. The 2013 harvest will be remembered as near perfection in a year of snow and drought, truly a rare and exceptional vintage.
Our Henschke Abbotts Prayer shows deep crimson with vibrant red hues. A brooding bouquet of dark plum, blueberry, cassis and mulberry with fragrant nuances of violets and crushed, flowering herbs, and more subtle hints of blackcurrant and anise spice. Henschke Abbotts Prayer is concentrated, sweet dark plum, blueberry and mulberry flavours and a fleshy mid-palate are supported with ripe, driving acidity, great minerality and silky tannins for a beautifully structured, lingering finish.
“The key is the medium-bodied and supple palate, tannins nowhere to be seen. Whatever else one can say, the wine is so well balanced it is ready for consumption from the start, yet has a 20-year horizon thanks to its mix of cassis, plum and black olive flavours.”
