Drew Tuckwell's Story
Drew Tuckwell is a multi award-winning winemaking genius!
For nearly 20 years Drew has been handcrafting regionally and site-specific wines of character from the high-elevation, cool climate region of Orange.
The last 15 years alone has seen Drew rack up over 50 National and International Wine Show Trophy Awards while working his day job at one of the most celebrated wineries in the super-premium, super-cool Orange region.
This totally unique tapestry of fertile soils perched on the sides of the extinct volcano Mount Canobolas is probably the only wine region in the world defined by how high it is! Yep, only grapes planted at an elevation of more than 600 metres can be defined as being from 'Orange'.
Drew wanted to make wines for Naked because "When someone actually wants to buy something that you've poured your heart and soul into - that's a very special feeling."
It was the opportunity to make the wines he really wanted to make, the chance of starting with a clean slate, and the excitement of creating his very own Kollectiv range of deliciousness that inspired Drew to contact Naked.
Drew Tuckwell's Kollectiv is just that. A collective effort by the winemaker, the grape growers of the Orange region, barrel makers, the cellar staff, the Naked Wines Team and you, Naked Angels. Without this collective effort, these wines would not exist.
Drew has been providing delicious and unique wines since the 2017 vintage, focussing on what the Orange Region does best!
