    96 Points & Top 100 Wines James Halliday
    94 Points Campbell Mattinson, Winefront
    Gold Medal – National Wine Show of Australia

    Situated only four kilometres from the town centre of Margaret River and an equal distance from the magnificent coastline, Xanadu is a true pioneer of the region with a long history of producing wines with distinct character that embody all that is the Margaret River.

    The Semillon component (16%) of the blend was crushed, destemmed and chilled before a very gentle pressing, with only free-run juice used. The settled, clean juice was then fermented at 15°C in tank using an aromatic yeast strain. The Sauvignon Blanc component of the blend was whole bunch / berry pressed with the cloudy free-run juice then naturally fermented in French oak using wild yeasts. All of these predominantly old barrels (new barriques account for 20% of the final blend) were lees stirred regularly for two months adding complexity and texture to the wine before blending with the crisp, clean, tank fermented Semillon.

    “A particularly grassy, smoky rendition of this famous blend. Power it most certainly has, fruit and oak. Passionfruit and lemongrass flavours burst impressively through the palate. In fact the word to use is: concentration. This has it in spades. Piercing and textural at once; quite a combination.” – 94 Points Campbell Mattinson, Winefront.

    “Takes on the power, hitting on where others fall by the wayside. The flavours are conventional enough, but their density is in a league of its own. Apple, herbs, citrus and tropical fruits are all there in abundance. Partial barrel ferment is the key to its complexity and texture.” – 96 Points & Special Value Wine James Halliday
