Rod Shields grows Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon on volcanic soils above 600 metres on Mt Canobolas, then holds the wines back — deliberately — to give them time to integrate before release. The Cabernet, built on high acidity and firm tannins, needs it. Tastings are poured at Ferment, the Orange Wine Centre on Hill Street.
Address checked against the operator’s own website, 20 September 2026.
