Tasting Notes
The nose here carries a delightful energy, perfumed with violets, black cherry and dark chocolate. This is followed by a tension on the palate; taut and as energetic as the nose suggested, yet rich in dark fruit and supported by a supple bed of tannins. Fresh, cool, with great definition and length. - Winemaker Note
Canobolas Wines is a family-run organic estate in Orange, New South Wales, named after the region’s defining landmark, Mount Canobolas, an extinct volcano whose ancient soils and high altitude shape the character of the wines. Established in the late 1980s, the vineyard sits at elevations between 600 and 800 metres, where the cool climate and volcanic earth bring freshness, structure and aromatic lift to the fruit.
The focus is on classic cool-climate varieties—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc—crafted in small volumes with a philosophy that balances traditional techniques and modern precision. Hand harvesting, careful fermentations and restrained use of oak allow the purity of fruit and the individuality of site to shine through.
Canobolas Wines has become known for producing elegant, finely structured wines that reflect the unique combination of altitude, climate and volcanic soils that define Orange.
