Description
John and Eithne Lagan planted their first vines in 1977 in what is now considered one of the oldest vineyards in Margaret River. Xanadu now has a long history of producing wines of distinction. accolades and a reputation as one of the finest wineries in the region.
Single vineyard wine all sourced from the Stevens Road Vineyard. 14 mths maturation in French oak (1/3 new). This beautiful shiraz (reminds me of France ‘s northern rhone) is medium to full bodied. fragrant. elegant and balanced. Margaret River shiraz is so delicious and seriously underated. Enjoy this bargain!
“Xanadu ™s stocks sure have risen in recent years. This release saw about 40% new oak. and includes a tiny portion of viognier. So clean. composed and complete. This is how to make a twenty something dollar red wine. Good fruit intensity without anything excessive. Plushness of texture. without syrupyness. An itch of spice. but only that. And then enough swagger to the tannin to know that you ™ve got a good/excellent glass of red on your hands. made by a winemaker confident enough to build a few layers into it … its quality is obvious. 95 points.
