“I’ve tasted some truly wonderful cabernets from Xanadu under this label over many years, but I have to say I’ve tasted none better than this. It is a simply wonderful example of Margaret River delivered with poise, power, and a certain panache. Captures the vintage well with the power and yet subtle restraint that it’s best known for. It’s medium to full-bodied but beautifully elegant. With an aroma of classically varietal blackcurrant, dark plums, and a slightly leafy bay leaf sort of character with a trace of minerally oyster shell, leading into a palate that has power and real poise. It’s a wine of tremendous brightness and energy. And while it’s drinking quite beautifully now, you can guarantee this will cellar for many years”

Colour: Deep ruby with garnet hues.

🔹 Alcohol: 14.0% | pH: 3.48

Sustainability & Natural Practices

🔹 Minimal intervention winemaking, ensuring purity of fruit and regional expression.

🔹 A commitment to sustainable viticulture, preserving Margaret River’s pristine environment.

Storage & Serving Tips

🔹 Cellaring: Drinking beautifully now but will age gracefully for 10+ years, developing greater complexity.

Food Pairing Suggestions

🔹 Grilled Ribeye Steak – The bold tannins complement rich, marbled meats perfectly.

🔹 Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder – The deep fruit and structure balance slow-cooked flavours.

🔹 Wild Mushroom Risotto – Earthy, umami-rich dishes bring out the wine’s subtle savoury notes.

🔹 Aged Cheddar & Gouda – Pair with robust cheeses for a luxurious experience.
