Description
Glaetzer Wines is a family owned company with a focus on making limited quantities of super premium Barossa reds. The wines are firstly about terroir – the magnificent ancient vines and rich soils from the famed Ebenezer district in the northern Barossa Valley.
And then about Ben Glaetzer crafting the wines to preserve the characteristics of the fruit from these wonderful vineyards where fruit expression is prized over overt ripeness, alcohol and oak. Ben’s winemaking style results in generous wines with great depth of flavour that are also elegant, multilayered and finely balanced.
The Vineyard
The Glaetzer mission is to focus, simply on the production of small-volume, super premium Barossa Valley wines.
The company holds a firm belief that the wines are made in the vineyard – a combination of the French notion terroir and Australian vineyard site knowledge.
The Barossa Valley is one of the most famous regions of South Australia. With an abundant history dating back to 1847 and a distinctive – and profound – Silesian (German) influence, it is asserting its importance, and the immeasurable value of its storehouse of century old vines and historic wineries.
