Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Xanadu Estate Cabernet Sauvignon originates from Margaret River, Western Australia's premier cool-climate wine region, where Cabernet thrives on gravelly loam soils with limestone substructure at moderate elevation. The estate's vineyard aspect captures afternoon maritime influence from the Indian Ocean, moderating ripeness and preserving acidity.

This expression is vinified using traditional Cabernet protocols: fruit-forward fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by 12 months in French oak (mix of new and seasoned), allowing integrated oak influence without dominance. The wine undergoes natural malolactic conversion in barrel, softening acidity while building mid-palate texture.

Xanadu's house style emphasizes varietal purity and regional expression over extraction—the result is a medium-bodied Cabernet that balances Margaret River's ripe cassis character with structural tannins and acidity typical of the region's cooler maritime climate. Drinking window: 2–8 years from vintage.
