Tasting Notes
The Xanadu Margaret River Chardonnay 2023 showcases the elegance and vibrancy that define this prestigious Western Australian wine region. Aromas of stone fruit, citrus zest, and fresh pear open the nose, beautifully framed by subtle oak-derived nuttiness. The palate is bright, generous, and creamy with a touch of mineral-driven freshness and a saline edge, ensuring balance and length.
Crafted from select Chardonnay parcels, the wine reflects the exceptional 2022 vintage, characterised by a cooler, wetter start followed by warm, dry conditions. These optimal ripening conditions resulted in low yields and high-quality fruit, with a focus on preserving natural acidity and varietal purity.

Winery | The Xanadu Chardonnay comes predominantly from estate-grown fruit from the Stevens Road and Boodjidup vineyards in the Wallcliffe sub-region of the Margaret River (90%). The remaining fruit was sourced from mature vineyards in Wilyabrup (5%) and Treeton (5%). This wine was made entirely from Gingin clone vines, known for its small bunches and ‘hen and chicken’ (millerandage) berries that produce fruit of intense concentration with high, natural acidity. The vines flourish in Margaret River’s renowned ancient granite soils, which have an abundance of ironstone gravel. These free-draining soils have low water and nutrient-holding capacities, providing the optimum growing conditions to balance foliage and fruit and deliver superb aroma and flavour intensity. The Indian and Southern Oceans meet here, engulfing the vineyards with fresh sea breezes, promoting natural balance. The vineyard is managed sustainably to continually improve the natural environment, focusing on soil and vine health, including biodiversity and weed management from sheep grazing. |
