XANADU Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River 2016 Bottle
About this wine
This wine has now achieved the most coveted accolade in Australian wine, with the 2016 vintage winning the Jimmy Watson Trophy. The 2018 vintage also won Langton’s James Halliday Australian Cabernet Challenge, awarding it the best Cabernet in Australia.
Xanadu has also won the Best Cabernet Trophy at the National Wine Show in Canberra the last 7 years in a row, most recently in 2019 with the 2017 vintage of this Cabernet. That’s a remarkable feat for a single producer and it’s rightly cemented the reputation both of Xanadu and long-time winemaker Glenn Goodall.
Over the last 11 years, Xanadu’s stable of extraordinary Cabernets has won a total of 46 trophies and 132 gold medals, a feat that speaks of consistency as much as it does of quality.
Technically Xanadu's 'third' Cabernet, this wine represents incredible value for the price point.

XANADU
John Lagan and family established Xanadu in the 1977 naming the property after Samuel Coleridge’s epic Kubla Khan or a Vision in a Dream. During the mid-1980s and 1990s Xanadu created a strong following for its muscular but energetic wines. After a brief interlude as a public company, it is now once more in private hands as part of the Rathbone Wine group. The Rathbone family has instigated a complete revitalisation of vineyard and wine making practise including lowering yields and optimising regional nuance. The 85 ha property is farmed along low input/organic lines and winemaking follows a minimal-intervention philosophy. Under winemaker Glenn Goodall, Xanadu is enjoying a major renaissance.
