The perfume is intense and complex, exhibiting ripe mulberries, blackcurrant pastilles and black plums, with hints of potpourri and cedar adding spice in the background. The generous palate is full bodied and crammed full of dark forest fruits, cassis, and chocolate characters. Powerful yet refined in structure the fleshy fruits, are framed by fine French oak and complimented by dense, velvety tannins. Quintessential Margaret River, with a lingering Cabernet finish.

As one of the first Margaret River wineries to become officially accredited with the SWA certification (2011), their commitment to sustainability predates their membership. To them, the health of their vines, soil and intimate knowledge of the region and land surrounding them, truly represents what sustainable longevity is. Creating expressive, regional wines of uncompromising quality, Xanadu takes an intuitive approach to winemaking, holding a deep respect for the vineyards — where true quality begins. Their philosophy is to guide the wines through to the bottle, rather than "beating them into submission".
