Murray Smith is one of the true pioneers of the Orange Vineyard scene. The vineyards were established between 1986 and 1988. The vines are all un-irrigated, close planted, hand pruned and picked to maximise the fruit quality.Murray uses an Artisan approach to making his wine, using minimal handling, an organic approach in the vineyard and only the finest French oak. Canobolas Smith Wines are released with age, love and care and are made in small quantities. The cellar door well worth a visit if you are in Orange.
Alchemy can be considered as a transformation from a lower to a higher state. From lead to gold, grapes to wine, four young Liverpudlians to the Beatles, it is continually occurring. Alchemy is a blend of the best barrels of the vintage to create a wine that surpasses the individual components. It is not produced in all vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon provides dark forest berries, structure and length. Cabernet Franc contributes a lot of perfumed aromas, red-fruit characters and chocolate and Shiraz adds spice, pepper and vibrancy. With these components the wines show a wonderful completeness, with elegance, complexity and length. Like our Chardonnay this wine also ages incredibly well, maintaining its youth well beyond 10-15 years of age.
