Circa 77 wines are Xanadu’s excellent value, everyday drinking wines that are named after the wineries’ inception in 1977. Circa 77 demonstrates not just the lifestyle and natural beauty of Margaret River, but just how special the combination of our pristine maritime climate and ancient soils are in producing wines of vibrancy and personality.
In the glass, the bouquet of this elegant, fruit-driven Chardonnay offers fresh pears, gala apples, and grapefruit characters with underlying hints of cantaloupe melon and hay. Oak is merely a bystander, yet its subtle influence adds another layer to the fruit aromas.
The palate is medium-bodied offering apple, pear, quince 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.
The wine is best consumed in its youth however it is certainly suitable for medium-term cellaring of 3-5 years.
