KIES WINES


 

The Kies family first came to Australia in 1857 from Germany.

Upon arrival at Port Adelaide in South Australia, the family searched for land suitable for growing premium quality grapes; an area where vines could be grown without fear of disease, frost or drought.

This was no easy task and in fact took some twenty years of constant searching to find Utopia. A Valley within a valley - Hoffnungstahl - 'The Valley of Hope'.

The Kies family is now of fifth generation with their children being the sixth. The present generation respects the hard work put in by its predecessors throughout the years and pursues the philosophy that hard work produces results. Some of the vines which are 100 years old have been lovingly cared for in order to keep producing hearty yields. Fifth generation Kies wines are produced totally from their own vineyards.

THE CELLAR DOOR
A beautifully restored ironstone cottage is maintained and encapsulates the Kies family's acceptance of and attitude to their heritage.

The volume of wine produced is small, with great care and skill going into each wine, giving the fullest attention to absolute quality and distinctive varietal character.

The Kies philosophy is to make the Best Quality premium wine with our own fruit from Kies Estate.
