    The Glaetzer family is about as close to Barossa Valley winemaking nobility as you can get – in fact, both Colin Glaetzer and his son Ben are Barons of the Barossa. Generation after generation of Glaetzers have coaxed wine from the land since their arrival from Germany in 1888. Settling in Nuriootpa, records show the Glaetzer family were among the first viticulturalists in the Barossa and Clare Valleys, beginning a long tradition of winemaking that runs strongly through the family.

    Colin Glaetzer began his career at Barossa Valley Estate in 1985 where he was behind the creation of E & E Black Pepper Shiraz and the Ebenezer portfolio of wines. His passion for winemaking was passed on to his three sons and in 1995 the family formed Glaetzer Wines, collecting a swag of awards on the way including 5 stars in the James Halliday 2011, 2012 and 2013 Wine Companions. Under Ben Glaetzer, the focus is on small batch super-premium wines that communicate the classic elegance and unmistakable Barossa characters.
