About this wine

Capturing the quintessential elegance of Margaret River, the Xanadu Black Label Chardonnay is a refined and contemporary expression of Australian Chardonnay. Crafted from the revered Gingin clone, this wine is pale straw in the glass with a subtle green tinge. The bouquet is vibrant and complex, offering fragrant notes of fresh pear, grapefruit and frangipani, enhanced by a delicate flinty barrel-ferment character On the palate, it is medium-bodied yet finely structured, delivering white-fleshed nectarines, citrus and nashi pear. A subtle saline or oyster-shell minerality threads through, while a creamy texture—developed via lees stirring—balances the bright natural acidity of gingin clone. Refined and layered, the wine finishes long and poised, offering both immediate pleasure and the potential for medium-term cellaring Sustainably grown in Margaret River’s cooler coastal climate, the fruit reflects the region’s hallmark freshness and concentration. Whole bunch pressing and fermentation in French oak impart complexity without overriding fruit purity. Lees stirring over nine months and the absence of malolactic fermentation ensure a precise, vivid wine with texture and clarity
