Eden Valley, South Australia, Australia

Henschke Abbotts Prayer 2015 is a refined and elegant Bordeaux-style blend, showcasing balance, finesse, and the distinctive character of Eden Valley.

The Wine

Produced from select vineyard parcels in Eden Valley, this cuvée is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted in a style that emphasizes structure, purity, and aromatic complexity.

The 2015 vintage, shaped by warm and favourable conditions, delivers ripeness and concentration while maintaining freshness and balance. Careful maturation in French oak enhances the wine’s texture and depth without overshadowing its fruit.

Tasting Notes

The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and red cherry, complemented by notes of cedar, tobacco, spice, and subtle herbal nuances.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with a smooth and polished texture. A core of dark fruit is supported by fine tannins, with hints of cocoa, spice, and gentle oak adding complexity.

The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and refined structure.
