This limited production single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon demonstrates our philosophy of selecting only the very best rows from the very best blocks on the property. Sourced from our Stevens Road vineyard, 3km down the road from the Xanadu winery in the Wallcliffe subregion, this wine offers a unique expression of the outstanding quality wine this special little vineyard is capable of producing. Limited to only 120 dozen (only 5 barrels produced).
The generous palate is full bodied and concentrated, with forest fruits, cocoa and cassis. The inky fruits are underpinned by dense tannins and a firm acid backbone culminating to a lingering Cabernet finish.
Winemaking Notes
This 2.5 tonne parcel of fruit was crushed/destemmed into a small static fermenter followed by a six- day ferment at 25°C, during which the cap was managed by regular aerative pump overs. The wine was gently pressed at approximately 2 Baume and finished fermentation and MLF in tank. Once dry, the wine was then racked to fine French oak barriques (40% new) and was matured in oak for 14 months prior to bottling without any fining.
About Xanadu Wines
Tucked away in Australia’s south-west corner just 4km from Margaret River’s town centre and an equal distance from the magnificent coastline, Xanadu has a long history of crafting outstanding wines that embody all the region has to offer.
One of the region’s first vineyards established in 1977 by Dr John Lagan, and now one of the country’s most acclaimed wineries, Xanadu is a true reflection of its idyllic setting and poetic namesake.
