For the love & passion of Wine
The origin of the word Asmara comes from Hennie's native country Indonesia meaning Love & Passion.
And Domaine has nothing to do with "domain name" on the internet. In our world ... Domaine reaches to the roots of the French term wine estate.
"It has been my childhood dream to have a vineyard.
At the age of 12 years, I made fruit wines from various berries. Some were collected from the wild (blackberries), some were from our own garden (gooseberries, strawberries, red current, black current).
This was great fun, but what was missing was a vineyard to grow grapes and make the “real stuff”…
We evaluated various wine growing regions within Australia and found our new place of belonging ... the Heathocte wine region. The terroir here is ideally suited for elegant Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon ... something we were looking for.
Once we purchased the vineyard, the idea of having a cellar door came up. And then the idea of having a bistro was born. It just fell into place like it was always meant to happen"
