"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
Gold for the Tiger Tiger Chardonnay
It was a true delight and an honour for the Tiger Tiger Chardonnay 2021 to not only receive a gold medal, but be one of five finalists amongst some incredible wines considered for the Chardonnay Trophy at the National Wine Show 2025.
As always, Alex's vision is for a wine that is true to its variety and place, and the slopes and sites of high country Tumbarumba definitely characterise the Tiger Tiger's personality, and longevity in the cellar. It's a pleasure to see this region recognised.
Having grown up in the area, Alex got his first taste of winemaking with Edgar Riek, a pioneer of the Canberra District at Lake George. But it was working as winemaker for Hardys’ flagship winery in the district from 2000 that really developed his intimate knowledge of the region, climate, soils and vineyards.
