Some places are so filled with life and energy that they draw you in, sometimes in unexpected ways. This is the magnetic pull of Margaret River, where for almost half a century, we’ve crafted wines that bottle the vibrancy of this place, so that no matter where you are, you too can experience the vitality of our region. Xanadu's wines are a liquid expression of the region’s true spirit—an energy that echoes from the land, through the vineyard, and into the glass.
HISTORY
It’s easy to see today what first inspired the creation of Xanadu in 1977, the early era of Margaret River's establishment as a wine region. A place radiating with promise and potential. Named for an ancient, otherworldly paradise, the Xanadu of today remains a source of inspiration. Acquired by the Rathbone family in 2005, today Xanadu stands to celebrate Margaret River's true spirit. Every Xanadu wine is an invitation to experience the pulse of Margaret River. To discover what makes our place so special.
VITICULTURE
At the heart of Xanadu's viticultural philosophy are our people, our land and our region. The longstanding relationships we’ve forged with our growers, our community and our customers, combined with our dedication to protecting and showcasing the character of our region, are central to all decisions made in the vineyards.
Our process is driven by a deep respect for the land, ensuring that we protect the integrity and potential of our region. Through our sustainability practices, we nurture the land so that it will continue to thrive for generations to come.
WINEMAKING
Our wines are a liquid expression of Margaret River. We craft wines that bottle the vibrancy of this place so that no matter where you are, you too can experience the vitality of our region.
With an intentionally minimalist approach to winemaking, we allow the region’s richness to shine through. We produce fruit-forward wines where the vineyard’s voice resonates clearly in every glass, and use techniques such as whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation, French oak maturation, and lees stirring to build complexity and balance in our wines.
THE TEAM
Our wines and our success are all made possible through the dynamic relationship between our place and our people, a balance that brings out the best of both. Glenn Goodall leads as Senior Winemaker since 1999. His guidance has propelled Xanadu as a benchmark for the region with a slew of accolades and recognition. Sophie Ward, Winemaker, joined our team in 2023 with global experience and a passion for Cabernet Sauvignon, supporting our winemaking operations. Alex Miller, Viticulturist, champions our viticultural sustainability and innovation across our sites.
