Seldom-Seen, Best-Selling Aussie Cab Is Back

When Xanadu’s 2016 Cabernet won the Jimmy Watson Trophy—one of Australia’s most prestigious wine awards—it shot up the lists of every collector Down Under. Bottles flew off the shelves. It was tough to find their Cabs in Australian wine shops, let alone in the US. 

Three years later, their 96-point 2019 scored even higher than that award-winning bottle—but this time we beat the collectors to the punch. 

“Scintillatingly pure and taut, this is elegant, supple Cabernet at its finest,” raved James Halliday’s Wine Companion in its review. “Brilliant stuff, even more so given the price and its ability to age gracefully.” 

Margaret River is the epicenter of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Abutting the Indian and Southern Oceans, the region’s climate is as enticing to winemakers as it is to surfers and sun-bronzed tourists. The ample sunlight, cool sea breezes, and dry ripening seasons of Margaret River awaken the grapes’ fine-tannin structure and a complexity that’s often likened to Bordeaux.

This mix of Old World grace and New World verve is part of the reason Wine Spectator has said that the Margaret River’s best Cabs occupy “the top rank in the world.”

Xanadu has been there since Margaret River’s early days as a wine region. Dr. John Lagan and his wife Eithne planted their first Cabernet Sauvignon and Sémillon near the coast in 1977; today, the Xanadu property has over 200 acres of vines growing in its well-drained, gravelly soils. Acquired by the Rathbone family in 2005, Xanadu has stayed family-owned and obsessively quality-focused, and it shows in their inspired Cabernets.
