Xanadu (pronounced Zan-a-du) is a standout gem in Western Australia’s renowned Margaret River wine region, celebrated globally for its Bordeaux-like reds and world-class Chardonnays. While its Shiraz often flies under the radar, it is equally remarkable, showcasing distinctly Australian characters alongside the spicy, savoury complexity reminiscent of Northern Rhône Syrah. One of the region’s earliest pioneers, Xanadu is known for crafting exceptional wines that remain refreshingly accessible in price compared to the area's elite offerings. Situated near the coast, the estate benefits from the region’s unique climate—warm, sun-drenched days balanced by cooling sea breezes at night, which contribute to the perfect ripening conditions for their grapes. The Circa 77 Shiraz epitomizes Xanadu’s dedication to quality. This wine is meticulously crafted with no shortcuts, delivering everything wine lovers admire about Margaret River. It’s a perfectly ripe, spicy, and mouth-filling Shiraz, striking a balance between richness and restraint. Full of character yet never overly jammy, Circa 77 is proof that world-class wine can be both extraordinary and approachable.

Blackberry, plum, violets, mulberries, subtle toastiness and savoury spice… an alluring assortment of aromas.

Supple tannins embrace the generous, medium to full-bodied palate while a fresh symphony of black fruits, liquorice and dark chocolate flood your taste buds. Quintessential Australian Shiraz with a touch of Rhone spiciness and pepperiness of a Hawkes Bay Syrah. The luscious, rounded acidity makes the flavours sing. The balance and structure shine, after one sip, you’re going to want to drink this gorgeous Margaret River Shiraz for as long as you can. Perfect for BBQ’d or grilled dishes, hard cheeses and just for drinking. For optimal drinking pleasure the recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
