Established in 2007 by Alex McKay, Collector Wines is a testament to dedication and craftsmanship. Situated in close proximity to the charming Collector Village in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, the winery takes pride in a distinctive approach.

This terroir gives rise to an abundance of fully ripened fruit, rich in aroma. The winery’s signature collection is crafted through pure handcrafted methods, resulting in wines of elegant body, distinctive flavor profiles, and a lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression.
The corePortfolio of Collector Wines comprises Marsanne, Shiraz, Chardonnay, and Sangiovese, all of which have been embraced by consumers for their exceptional quality upon their release. In recognition of their excellence, multiple wines from Collector Wines have been recognized with awards at various international wine expos. In a significant milestone, in 2009, the estate was honored as the 'Best New Winery' at the Penguin Australian Wine Exhibition. Further accolades came in 2011, when the renowned wine critic James Halliday bestowed Collector Wines with a 'Five-Star Rating', a testament to its outstanding reputation.
