Our Story

“In 2005, with just a handful of cool climate grapes, I released one wine – the Marked Tree Red Shiraz. Scroll forward to today, and we are known for a range of wines that sing with a purity of regional expression and varietal definition. Come and seek out the best of the region with me.”

-       Alex McKay, Winemaker.

Alex McKay started Collector wines in 2005 with just a handful of cool climate shiraz and a determination to make elegant, long-lived wines. Fast forward to today, and we are known for wines that sing with a purity of regional expression and varietal definition. Our grapes come from vineyards dotted around the Canberra District and region, but our cellar door is in the heart of country Collector, just outside Canberra. 

Alex is the ultimate collector, carefully working with the best parcels of fruit to craft wines that perfectly express their variety and place.
