Canobolas Smith
Canobolas Smith operates in Orange, a cool-climate pocket of New South Wales's Central Ranges known for producing wines of precision and structure. The winery's portfolio centers on Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, varietals that thrive in the region's elevation and diurnal temperature swings. The flagship Alchemy—a Shiraz and Cabernet blend—has drawn attention from Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. A straight Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay round out the core range, each reflecting Orange's capacity for both red depth and white minerality. The winery's wines demonstrate the region's signature tension between ripeness and acidity, a hallmark of high-altitude viticulture in inland New South Wales.
