BEN GLAETZER
Ben Glaetzer is one of Australia’s most celebrated winemakers, internationally recognised for crafting powerful, expressive, and highly collectible wines from some of South Australia’s oldest vineyards. As the founder of Glaetzer Wines, Ben has earned a reputation for producing wines that combine concentration, elegance, and a strong sense of place.
Based in the Barossa Valley, Glaetzer sources fruit from exceptional old-vine vineyards across the Barossa and Eden Valley. These ancient vines, some more than a century old, thrive in the region’s warm climate and diverse soils, producing grapes with remarkable intensity, complexity, and depth of flavour.
Ben Glaetzer is particularly renowned for iconic wines such as Amon-Ra, Anaperenna, and Bishop. The Shiraz wines typically display blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, spice, liquorice, and mocha notes supported by rich tannins and impressive aging potential. The wines balance power and concentration with freshness and refinement, reflecting Ben Glaetzer’s distinctive winemaking style.
The philosophy behind Glaetzer Wines centres on preserving vineyard character and showcasing the unique qualities of old-vine Barossa fruit. Through meticulous vineyard selection and minimal intervention in the winery, Ben Glaetzer has become one of the leading figures in modern Australian fine wine.
Today, his wines are highly sought after by collectors, sommeliers, and wine enthusiasts worldwide and are considered benchmark examples of premium Barossa Valley winemaking.
