1999 Henschke 'Abbotts Prayer' Lenswood Merlot Cabernet - Museum Collection
About the Vineyard:
”Through thirty years of hard work, the Lenswood wines have become known for their purity and intensity of flavour. The slower ripening conditions retain a high natural acidity that gives balance, greater mouthfeel and ability to age.
…Wines from the Lenswood vineyard include the sparkling pinot noir Johanne Ida Selma Blanc de Noir MD, Green’s Hill Riesling, Percival’s Mill Grüner Veltliner, Croft Chardonnay, Giles Pinot Noir, The Alan Reserve Pinot Noir and Abbotts Prayer Merlot Cabernet.”
