Why this wine
Margaret River is the benchmark for Australian Cabernet, and Circa 77 is Xanadu's way into it: estate Houghton-clone fruit on ironstone gravel, 14 months in French barriques with only a fifth new. It gives the region's cassis and savoury edge without the price of the top cuvees. An easy recommendation for anyone meeting Margaret River Cabernet for the first time.
