Xanadu Estate Chardonnay Margaret River 2018

We put this utterly fantastic Chardonnay in the “dangerous” category. One sip, and you are HOOKED! The roaring power of the steely white fruits, citrus, and roasted nuts is just shocking at this price level -- truly astounding. We can’t say it enough: “Buy more than you think you will want” because...well, everyone who bought it last time is ahead of you!!

The Margaret River region (in Western Australia, way, WAY out there near Perth) is famous for cooler climate wines of richness and balance and acidity -- and boy are you about to get knocked out. Established by Dr. John Lagan in 1977, and headed up by a team of highly talented winemakers (and excellent surfers, by all accounts), Xanadu has quickly become one of First Bottle’s most popular producers.

The bang for the buck is just outrageous! 120 CASES and that’s IT!

PAIRING IDEAS: Fish and chips! Or fish tacos! Sear it, grill it, air-fry it, add crunchy cabbage, lime juice and chipotle sauce. It is a THRILL to have with this citrusy, uber-fresh, zesty white. Wow!

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: THE CARS' Greatest Hits. This is electric wine, and the feel-good, buzzy, synth-pop fun of the Cars is perfecto.
