Xanadu Circa 77 Chardonnay 2021 (12x 750

  1. Xanadu Circa 77 Chardonnay 2021 (12x 750mL)

Wine Summary Image

All components were pressed without crushing or the use of enzymes, retaining relatively high solids in the juice after settling for 48 hours. 70% of the blend was fermented in predominantly seasoned French oak barriques (only 6% new oak in final blend. Wild fermentation was encouraged on barrel fermented components to introduce complexity and personality into the wine. 30% of the blend was tank fermented using aromatic yeast strains; after fermentation, the tank is mixed to homogenise the lees throughout the wine before being transferred to old oak for maturation. None of the batches undergo MLF, however all batches which make up the blend were lees stirred throughout a nine-month barrel maturation period, gaining texture throughout the year. The final blend was put together in November 2021.

Expert Reviews

JAMES HALLIDAY | THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN & HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION, NOVEMBER 2021 92 Points

The name is derived from the first plantings by Xanadu in 1977. $20 (and presumably discounted below that) is a ridiculous price for this so-cleverly made wine, its core dinky-di white stone fruits and a dash of grapefruit, together with a feather-light infusion of oak.

Winery Tasting Notes

COLOUR

Pale straw.

NOSE

The bouquet of this fresh, fruit driven Chardonnay displays crunchy stone fruits, pear, and zesty grapefruit characters with underlying hints of nectarine and cashew. Oak only plays a supporting role, yet its subtle influence adds another layer of subtle complexity.

PALATE

The palate is medium bodied offering some white fleshed stone fruits and zesty citrus flavours with a delicate creamy texture derived from lees stirring. A bright, refreshing wine; crisp and dry, with a lingering fruit finish.

CELLARING

A fresh, fruit driven style of Chardonnay, with oak simply playing a supporting role in the background. The wine is best consumed in its youth however certainly suitable for medium term cellaring.
