Canobolas Smith Alchemy 2012 New South Wales Orange
$63.95
Canobolas Smith Alchemy 2012 – 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.

Wine-making
At Canobolas~Smith we take an artisanal approach to wine-making. No compromises are made at any stage of the process. All fruit is picked in small batches at optimal ripeness and carefully sorted before processing. We take great care to allow the wines to reflect both the vineyard and the season as much as possible, whilst maintaining a certain “house style”. Only the finest French oak is used during maturation and flavour is retained as much as possible through minimal use of fining and filtration.
The Vineyard
The vineyard was established between 1986 and 1988 and is comprised of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Shiraz. All the vines are unirrigated, close-planted, hand pruned and hand picked to optimise fruit quality.
