Meet the Maker | John Collingwood, Four Winds Vineyard 🍇

Physiotherapist turned grape grower and w**emaker, John Collingwood’s journey into w**e wasn’t exactly planned.

After moving to the Canberra District in 2010 with Sarah, John began helping out in the vineyard at Four Winds Vineyard. What started as lending a hand gradually became a career — and today he works across both the vineyard and w**ery, following the process all the way from growing the grapes to making the w**e.

His variety of choice? Riesling. Its versatility, and the way it performs in the Canberra District’s cool climate, keeps it firmly at the top of his list.
And the lesson that has carried across from physiotherapy to w**emaking?

Patience.

As John puts it, “W**e certainly teaches you that you can’t rush the process.”

🍷 MORE THAN SHIRAZ & RIESLING | Exploring the Canberra District

While Shiraz and Riesling have helped put the Canberra District on the w**e map, there’s so much more to discover across our region.

From the fresh, peppery character of Grüner Veltliner to the rich texture of Marsanne, the savoury spice of Tempranillo and the vibrant fruit of Gamay and Sangiovese, our local w**emakers are showcasing just how diverse Canberra District w**es can be.

And these are just a handful of the varieties you’ll find growing across the region!

Next time you’re visiting a local w**ery, why not step outside your usual favourites and discover something different?

Spring has arrived in the Canberra District 🌱

But for Vintage 2027, this is where it all begins. 🍇

📍 Featuring vineyards from Eden Road W**es, Pankhurst W**es, Poachers Pantry and Brindabella Hills.
