Anthony Rose, The Indepedent, UK
 Dec 2004

"To call Ben Glaetzer up-and-coming would fail to do justice to the already considerable achievements of this dynamic 27-year-old Barossa Valley winemaker. This year he won the prestigious Qantas Medal for young winemakers at the Qantas/Australian Gourmet Traveller WINE Winemaker of the Year Awards, an exhaustively titled institution set up to celebrate the depth and diversity of the country's winemakers.

Ben is the scion of a renowned wine-making family and together with his father Colin manages a 10,000-tonne winery, making traditional Barossa shiraz under the Glaetzer and Amon Ra labels. He also produces an affordable Heartland range, sourced mainly from the Limestone Coast and Langhorne Creek.."
