Our most awarded wine, the Xanadu Cabernet Sauvignon has been won the title of Australia's Best 4 out of the last 7years in a row that Xanadu has taken this trophy home from the National Wine Show of Australia. Needless to say we're proud of this wine! Having won the coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy in 2018 for our 2016 vintage, the pedigree of our Xanadu Cabernet continues to shine. Our 2018 is no exception, displaying a plush palate of inky berry fruits framed by subtle spicy oak. Vibrant and robust in its youth, this is a wine which will certainly benefit from further bottle maturation and will cellar comfortably for 5-10 years.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep red with purple hues

Nose

Dark fruits of the forest, black plums and cassis with hints of dried herbs, cinnamon and spice

Palate

Full-bodied yet refined, the plush palate offers a core of inky berry fruits; blackcurrants, Satsuma plums and graphite, all framed by subtle cedar / spicy oak characters. This dense wine is well structured, with a taut acid backbone layered with dark fleshy fruit characterstics, ripe tannins and a lingering fruit finish. Approximately one third of the fruit is Estate grown in the Wallcliffe subregion, while the remaining two thirds consists of fruit from mature vineyards in the more northern Margaret River subregions of Wilyabrup, Treeton and Yallingup.
