The wine displays vibrant, characteristic Cabernet aromas of blackcurrant and mulberries, entwined with hints of mocha, black olive and bay leaf. Full-bodied yet refined, the generous palate offers a core of inky berry fruits; cassis and blood plums. Dense yet supple, the fleshy fruit characteristics are layered with dark chocolate and ripe tannins which culminate through to a persistent Cabernet finish.

Winery Info
XANADU
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".
