2019 Domaine Asmara Private Collection Shiraz
In 2008, former chemical engineer Andreas Greiving followed his lifelong dream to own and operate a vineyard. Domaine Asmara takes it’s name from the Indonesian word "Asmara" which means love and passion. Located in the heart of Heathcote wine region on red cambrian soil, Domaine Asmara is a neighbouring vineyard of what was previously the old Tatiarra estate. Maturation takes place in French oak barriques for a period of 10 months.
A rich, voluptuous Heathcote Shiraz that finishes long and plush
Impenetrable inky black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Heady lush blackberry, liquorice and black cherry scents waft out of the glass followed by toasty vanillin oak, dark chocolate and peppered fennel like notes. Rich, concentrated and voluptuous the full bodied palate is engulfed with lavish blackberry, liquorice, dark plum and dark chocolate flavours which overlay a vanillin oak, earthy fennel and subtle pepper back drop. Excellent power and volume with velvet smooth tannins and a long opulently fruited finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 14.8%
