Xanadu Wines
Margaret River, Australia
Philosophy
Glenn Goodall's philosophy emphasizes custodianship of vineyard terroir, guiding wines through to bottle with minimal intervention rather than heavy-handed winemaking. The house pursues precision viticulture through soil profiling and reduced yields, allowing each site's natural character—from gravelly loam to granite influence—to express in the final wine.
Reputation
Established in 1977 by Irish physician Dr John Lagan and his wife Eithne, Xanadu emerged as a pioneer in the then-nascent Margaret River region. Named after Coleridge's mythical city of utopian beauty—a literary allusion befitting an estate nestled in gravelly loams beneath marri forests on the southwestern Australian coast—the winery has evolved from its origins into one of the nation's most decorated producers.
