Xanadu Wines is a Margaret River estate in Western Australia, founded in 1977 by Dr John Lagan. Located minutes from the coast, the winery is best known for its Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, both shaped by Margaret River's maritime climate and rich local soils. Under winemaker Glenn Goodall, Xanadu has earned over 100 trophies, including titles for Australia's Best Cabernet and Best Chardonnay, and follows a vineyard-first, minimal-intervention winemaking philosophy backed by a strong sustainability focus. Its Cabernet Sauvignon has become the label's signature wine, recognised as one of the most awarded in the country.

Margaret River is regarded as Australia's benchmark region for Chardonnay, and Xanadu is one of its most consistently awarded producers, having earned Best Australian Chardonnay recognition and over 100 trophies across its range. The Black Label sits as Xanadu's entry point into that reputation — built on the same Gingin clone fruit and French oak fermentation techniques used in its higher-tier Reserve and Stevens Road wines, at a more accessible price. 2024 was an early, warm and dry vintage in Margaret River, producing wines with notable power and concentration, which shows through in this release's depth and structure. It's a versatile pairing wine — good with shellfish, roast chicken or creamy sauces — and suits drinkers who want a genuine, complex Margaret River Chardonnay rather than a simple, oak-light style.
