Established in 1977 by Dr. John Lagan, Xanadu was founded on a vision to harness Margaret River’s potential as a world-class wine region. Named after Samuel Coleridge’s poetic depiction of an idyllic paradise, the estate spans 65 hectares of vineyards surrounded by native marri trees. Combining the pioneering spirit of its founders with modern winemaking practices, Xanadu continues to capture the essence of its unique terroir.

Glenn’s approach emphasises sustainability and minimal intervention, resulting in wines that showcase the quality and complexity of Margaret River’s soils and climate. This philosophy has earned Xanadu a reputation for producing wines that highlight both craftsmanship and respect for the land.
