About

Sourced mostly (86%) from Xanadu's own Boodjidup and Stevens Road vineyards in the Wallcliffe sub-region of Margaret River, filled out with fruit from Wilyabrup and Treeton. Crushed and destemmed, fermented in rotary and static fermenters, with part of the blend given extended skin maceration before a gentle press, then matured 14 months in French oak barriques (20% new). The palate is generous with dark forest fruit, cassis and chocolate, medium- to full-bodied, carried by supple, ripe tannins to a persistent finish marked by regional notes of bay leaf, black olive and licorice.

Producer note

Dr. John Lagan landed in Margaret River in 1968, drawn by its wild beauty and untapped potential for world-class wine. What started as a pioneer's project is now one of the region's most established estates.

Las Vino Cabernet 'Between the Capes' 2025

L.A.S. Vino (Nic Peterkin)

Cabernet Sauvignon from mature vines — 30 years old at minimum — on classic gravelly loam between the capes, spanning the Yallingup and Wilyabrup sub-regions at 80 to 100 metres. Hand-picked, berry-sorted fruit ferments as whole berries in open fermenters for 20 to 30 days at ambient cellar temperature, then spends 11 months in 225-litre oak barrels before settling naturally in tank and a light filtration. Supple and smooth, with vibrant primary mulberry fruit and dark chocolate. Just 60 dozen made, sealed under wax-topped DIAM.

Winners Tank Shiraz 2023

Eskadale Vineyards

Made from the earliest-maturing shiraz grapes off the Eskadale block, this Langhorne Creek red is matured for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak. Young, vibrant blackberry carries floral lift, with plum and mocha rounding out a layered, full-bodied palate. A fruit-forward, typical Langhorne Creek shiraz that leans on power as much as finesse.

Main & Cherry Shiraz 2025

Main & Cherry (Michael Sexton)

Shiraz drawn from two contrasting parcels: a certified-organic block on Hahn Road at Sellicks Hill for richness and plush dark fruit, and the cooler, higher home block at Clarendon for lift, structure and finesse. Gently fermented in small open fermenters for 12 to 16 days, basket pressed, then matured twelve months in French and American oak. Layers of blackberry, ripe plum and subtle spice ride velvety tannins — fruit-driven, lively and generous.

Hewitson Monopole Mother Vine Shiraz 2022

Hewitson

Every vine in the Monopole Vineyard descends from a single ancient Shiraz vine planted in 1853 in the middle of Hewitson's Old Garden Vineyard at Rowland Flat — buds grafted over many years into a vineyard of its own in the Dorrien district, resurrecting a pre-phylloxera clone. The 2022 was fermented 45% whole bunches, three weeks on skins with pump-overs, then matured 18 months in new and old French oak. Deep inky red, with dark red rose florals entwined in crimson-to-black fruit, mulberry, raspberry and plum compote, high-cacao chocolate and seamlessly integrated tannins. Winepilot rated it 97 points.
