About Kies Family

The Kies family has been cultivating grapes in the Barossa Valley for six generations, with Tina and Michael Kies establishing the cellar door in 1985 in a renovated chaff mill cottage. Their children have since joined the family business: Bronson, the eldest, became the first official winemaker in 2020; Jesseca manages marketing and export partnerships; and Jordan takes after his Father with a successful career in Property.
