Whitebox Shiraz has aromas of dark fruit, spice and leather that leads into a palate of blackberries and cedar. The fruit sweetness is balanced by firm acid and fine tannins. A great example of Heathcote Shiraz from a favourite of Dan Murphy's customers over the years.

Domaine Asmara, located in the heart of the rich Cambrian region of Heathcote in Victoria, is a family owned and operated vineyard that produces small parcels of exceptional fruit that is transformed into complex and flavoursome wines just like this Private Collection Shiraz. 'Asmara' translated from Indonesian to means 'Love & Passion' - a character than is intrinsic in this boutique Shiraz.

This was such a delight to taste - one of those wines that makes you wonder why Victoria doesn't quite have the global recognition for shiraz as their South Aussie neighbours. I think we're lucky enough to be looking at this 2018 right as it's finding its feet; pure fruit remains the main draw-card, but there is glimpses of maturity beginning to shine through. A layered and deeply curious wine. Blueberries and cool winter fruit sit squarely at the centre of what is a genuinely abundant affair; full and juicy. That fruit freshness is flanked by anise, vanilla, fruit leather, and cold, wet soil. A bright, shimmering example of how dually finessed and powerful Heathcote shiraz can be. This is a beauty, right in its prime.

A Shoemaker with the finest skills and dedication to his craft once lived at the bridge over the creek. It was then named after his most important tool, Snob, the small anvil used to shape the toe end of a boot. The VSP Shiraz is a well-balanced wine, which shows rich dark fruits aromas mixed with mocha and spice oak aromas. Oak is well integrated and gives the wine a nice long flavoursome finish.

Hand plunged in open fermenters. 12 months maturation, including 2 months in 25% new French coopered American and Russian oak barriques. Hand crafted in small batches from grapes grown using sustainable practices with no pesticides or herbicides. Generous boysenberry, plum, wet clay aromatics and consistent palate. Fleshy, structured palate that effortlessly carries its fine, round tannins, alcohol and acidity which provide persistent length of palate.

The Shiraz is all about balance, mouthfeel and intensity of flavour, a vintage that has wonderful appeal now but will evolve slowly but surely as Heathcote Estate has proven time and time again. The wine is exceptionally poised with characteristic layers of red and black fruits, floral notes, tar, gun flint and excellent balance and concentration. The palate is seamless, elegant and plush, with beautifully ripe tannins.

Bright, deep red, purple hue. Spice, plum, pepper, full rich fruit, fresh. Round full flavour. Rich fruit flavours. Balanced with fine tannin. Great length.

Aromas of blackberry, plum and spice with flavours of rich plum, berry, and dark chocolate with supple tannins.
