WHAT IS A CLEANSKIN?
When we book in a bottling run for a wine, we estimate label numbers based on the litres of wine we have. Sometimes our estimates are slightly out, which means we run out of labels near the end of the bottling. This wine is exactly the same as the 2022 Monkey Nut Tree Merlot, which we sell in our cellar door, as it went down the same bottling line, but its available at a cheaper price as it doesn't have a label.
So capilatise on this exceptional quality for a great price - AVAILABLE UNTIL SOLD OUT!
MORE ABOUT THE 2022 MONKEY NUT TREE MERLOT
THE NAME: Situated on one of the highest aspects of the Barossa Ranges, this lone standing mushroom shaped tree is visible from almost every vineyard in the region. What was once a key navigation point for Ken Kies and the other pilots of small aircraft, is now a symbol of the strength of Kies Family winemaking, overcoming adversity for six generations. The tree is home to many stories, from underneath and high above.
VINEYARD REPORT: The two plantings of Kies Merlot offer very different styles of fruit come vintage. Michael says the older vines which produce the fruit for the Monkey Nut Tree Merlot are about the ugliest vines you’ll ever see but they continue to supply stunning fruit. Grown on a clay soil with a limestone base, these vines were grafted onto Shiraz rootstock in 1986, they are trained into a single wire and hand pruned.
TASTING NOTES: This Merlot is unique and boasts aromas of rich dark fruits, mint and baking spices, followed by loads of blackcurrant, raspberry and dark chocolate characters on the palate. The finish is round and long exhibiting silky tannin. This is an elegant wine that will grow with time.
