Fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke and his wife Prue selected Lenswood in 1981 as a new vineyard site just 50km from the historic Mount Edelstone and Hill of Grace vineyards in the Eden Valley. The slopes of the Lenswood vineyard 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. 

This is a particularly enjoyable Abbotts Prayer, the seamless union of merlot and cabernet translating as a perfectly balanced juicy stream of red and blackcurrant fruit, oak and tannins there or thereabouts, but no more. - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion, 1 August 2020, 96 Points
