- TASTING NOTE: "Showing off its youthful, vibrant nature with all manner of flavours from cassis, mulberries and redcurrants to baking spices, nori and a distinct whiff of licorice – even warm bitumen – and a flutter of leafy freshness. Fuller bodied but well composed with ripe, if slightly sandy, tannins and the cedary oak neatly tucked in, just giving off a slight green walnut note. Appealing now but in a way, it’s still finding its groove and will be more complete with an extra year or so in bottle." 95 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: 2022 will be remembered as an outstanding vintage in Margaret River. Fruit for this wine was predominantly sourced from mature vineyards in the northern Margaret River subregions of Wilyabrup (40%) and Yallingup (16%) along with fruit from the Wallcliffe subregion (40%), and a small portion from a vineyard in Treeton (4%).Fruit was crushed/destemmed before predominantly small batch fermentation in a combination of static and open fermenters. Fermentation takes 7-8 days at 24 – 26o C, during which the cap is managed using a combination of aerative pumping over as well as regular plunging by hand. After fermentation, 20% of the components experienced a period of extended maceration on skins before very gentle pressing. MLF takes place in a combination of tank and barrel. The wine was matured for 14 months in French oak (40% new barriques) before the blend was assembled, prior to bottling. Xanadu

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Xanadu Wines was established in 1977 by Dr. John Lagan who planted the Lagan vineyard in that same year. This a is a relatively flat 17 hectares site with vines rooted in a deep, gravelly loam soil over clay which allows for free draining. The original varieties planted include Cabernet Sauvignon and Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The estate's property was expanded in 1999 with planting of 14 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and 33 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Shiraz on the Boodjidup Estate. In 2005 Xanadu Wines was purchased by the Rathbone family, further improving the quality of the wines through soil profiling, precision viticulture and reduced yields. With the acquisition of the Steven's Road vineyard in 2008 the quality of the wines has been consistently outstanding.
