Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

The ancient dry-grown vineyards in the renowned Ebenezer district are an important part of Australia's winemaking heritage and a living link to traditional Barossa viticulture. Exceptional fruit froma loyal group of third and fourth generation Barossa grape growers is the backbone of Glaetzer wines. The most exceptional fruit is sourced from 80-110 year-old non-grafted bush vines which are extremely low yielding.

Vinification

Fermented in 1 and 2 tonne open fermenters, hand plunged 3 times daily. Bottled unfiltered to ensure minimal intervention with the wine’s natural characteristics.

Aging

Matured for 16 months in 100% new oak hogshead barrels (92% French and 8% American) and matured on lees to maintain fruit profile and animation.
