Xanadu Circa 77 Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

This 2020 vintage comes from the heart of Margaret River, a region famed for its classically structured Cabernets. The fruit is sourced from select vineyards across the region, then fermented in small batches with gentle extraction to preserve varietal purity. Aged briefly in French oak barriques—mostly seasoned—to soften edges and add a subtle seasoning of spice without overshadowing the fruit-driven style.

Bouquet

Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and mulberry lead the way, followed by a whisper of bay leaf, cocoa and cedar. There's a flicker of violet and graphite in the background, hinting at the wine’s varietal integrity and regional roots.

Palate

Polished and medium-bodied, the palate unfolds with dark berry fruits, black plum, and a touch of mocha. Tannins are fine and supple, lending gentle structure while remaining approachable. A trace of dark chocolate and dried herbs trails on the finish, adding savoury interest to the wine’s plush fruit core.

Food Pairing

Ideal alongside rosemary lamb chops, mushroom risotto, or a peppery venison sausage. This is a Cabernet that balances depth and drinkability, making it a charming match for both hearty fare and weeknight classics.
