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's Reserve range is reserved for fruit the winemaking team considers the best of the vintage, sourced here from 43-year-old vines on the Gingin clone in Wallcliffe, one of Margaret River's most respected Chardonnay sites. The wine is 100% barrel fermented with wild yeast and no malolactic fermentation, a deliberate winemaking choice that preserves the wine's natural acidity and gives it real ageing potential rather than a soft, buttery style. Xanadu has built a reputation as one of Australia's top Chardonnay producers, and this Reserve tier is where that reputation is proven vintage after vintage. It's a wine for drinkers who want serious, mineral-driven Margaret River Chardonnay with the structure to cellar, and it's also vegan-friendly and produced at a Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certified winery.
