2022 Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon
£20.00
“An impressive cabernet sauvignon from a season which produced wines of power and volume with a firm structure. This is all of that. The typical blackcurrant aromas are augmented with sweet plummy nuances. The palate is tightly framed with firm tannins and a decent oak influence from the 40% new French oak contribution. The colour is bright and almost luminous. A wine of energy and vibrancy. If you are looking for great value in cellaring then this baby is right on the mark.”
96 Points, Ray Jordan, Winepilot
“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.”

Product Description
Xanadu is a true pioneer of Margaret River. Irish doctor John Lagan arrived in the region in 1968 and, captivated by its pioneering spirit, planted his first vines with his wife Eithne in 1977, naming the property after the idyllic paradise of Coleridge’s Kubla Khan.
True to its poetic namesake, the setting is idyllic: 65 hectares of sustainably farmed vines near the Indian Ocean, producing fresh, vibrant coastal wines. Winemaker Glenn Goodall joined in 1999 and has led Xanadu to the front rank of Australian wine, winning the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 2018 and being named Halliday’s Best Winemaker of the Year in 2023.
Here, there’s a harmony between place and people, a dynamic balance that brings out the best of both. And it’s this relationship that creates wines filled with energy. A fluid pulse that connects you directly to what makes this place so special.
