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.

Aging

Old vine Barossa Grenache has a liveliness and structure that does not beneft from oak maturation—oak contact was thus minimized for the Grenache component to preserve the purity and animation of the fruit. The Shiraz was matured for 16 months in 2—3 year old oak hogshead barrels (80% French / 20% American).
