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.

Xanadu Malbec isn't a permanent fixture in the range — it's only made in vintages the winemaking team considers exceptional, so each release is genuinely scarce rather than a marketing label. Margaret River's maritime climate gives this Malbec real structure and freshness rather than the softer, jammier style the variety can fall into in warmer regions, and the dense tannins mean it has genuine ageing potential alongside being enjoyable now. It's a distinctive choice for drinkers who want something outside the usual Cabernet or Shiraz lineup, from a producer with over 100 wine show trophies to its name. Pairs well with rich, savoury dishes like braised beef, game, or hard cheese.
