Origin
Xanadu Estate Chardonnay is produced in the Margaret River region of Western Australia, a renowned area known for its premium cool-climate wines.
Variety
The wine is made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes, carefully selected from the estate vineyards.
Production
The Chardonnay grapes are handpicked and gently pressed. The juice undergoes fermentation in French oak barrels, with a portion of the wine aged on lees to enhance texture and complexity. Malolactic fermentation is partially employed to add creaminess while retaining fresh acidity.
Tasting notes
- Appearance: Pale straw with hints of green.
- Aroma: Intense aromas of citrus fruits, white peach, and subtle vanilla oak nuances.
- Palate: Crisp and vibrant with flavors of lemon zest, nectarine, and a creamy texture balanced by refreshing acidity.
- Finish: Clean and lingering with delicate oak spice.
Food pairings
This Chardonnay pairs excellently with:
- Grilled seafood such as prawns and scallops
- Roast chicken with herbs
- Creamy pasta dishes
- Soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert
- Lightly spiced Asian cuisine
