About Cleanskins

Cleanskin wines are no different in quality from any other variety, blend or brand of wine - they just don't have a winemakers label (well, ours have a 'Winelarder' label, but you know what we mean). Traditionally cleanskin was a term for an 'unbranded animal' or someone who was 'free from blame', when applied to wine the term cleanskin means 'quality wine, at a good price, without a label'.

Where does cleanskin wine come from?

Winelarder's Cleanskin wine is produced in conjunction with selected wineries in all the main wine growing regions of Australia. For more information check out this cleanskin newspaper article from The Australian and this cleanskin article in The Daily Telegraph

Isn't it just like buying generic brand food at a supermarket?

Not at all - generic brand supermarket products tend to be of a lesser quality than the top brands and there is generally no information on the manufacturer. Our cleanskin wines are made by the top wineries in the top wine growing regions in the country. Instead of having a winery label they have a 'Winelarder' label.
