XANADU Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River 2020 Bottle
About this wine
Xanadu Reserve Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon
Only made in exceptional years, the 2017 was the first Reserve Cabernet since 2014 and it was an immediate hit at wine shows around the country, being awarded 95 points and above at Royal Melbourne, Sydney Royal, Royal Adelaide, the Wine Show of WA and the Margaret River Wine Show over the last two years.
A blend of 95% Cabernet and 5% Petit Verdot, this is fermented in both static and open fermenters and plunged daily before being gently pressed off into French barriques (45% new) for 14 months. The result is a wine with classic blackberry and cherry, and cedar aromas that lead onto the palate which is both concentrated yet elegant with very fine persistent tannins providing the backbone to a wine that can be enjoyed now but will be even better in another five to ten years plus.

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.
