Glaetzer Wines, a prestigious name in the Australian wine industry, traces its roots back to the mid-19th century. The Glaetzer family's winemaking heritage began when their ancestors emigrated from Germany to the Barossa Valley in South Australia. The rich winemaking traditions brought from Europe were seamlessly integrated with the unique terroir of the Barossa Valley. In 1995, Colin Glaetzer established Glaetzer Wines, driven by a vision to create world-class wines that embody the essence of the Barossa Valley. Today, Glaetzer Wines is managed by Colin's son, Ben Glaetzer, who continues to uphold the family tradition while infusing modern techniques and innovations.
If you like your wines with traditional Barossa boldness then Ben Glaetzer's stand out wine Amon-Ra Shiraz exemplifies these characteristics. Amon-Ra takes its name from the Egyptian king of the gods, an appropriately grand title for a Shiraz that has become something of an Australian icon. In the glass, Amon-Ra is unapologetically dark and powerful. This is Barossa Shiraz with the volume turned up but with the dials carefully controlled. Amon-Ra is powerful, hedonistic and unmistakably Australian, yet its greatest achievement is that all that power comes with poise.
