John Glaetzer was right hand man to Wolf Blass throughout the breathtaking run of Jimmy Watson winning efforts in the 1970s. The pursuit of excellence in every aspect of production has been the key to success for John Glaetzer's wines. This classic Australian red wine continues the award winning tradition of John Glaetzer, after many years of crafting some of Australia's most memorable vintages and flagship labels. Small parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon grown to the rich alluvial soils of Langhorne Creek are crushed, fermented, pressed and tranferred to oak hogsheads for maturation. These small batches of grapes become John's Blend, a select, super premium label of extremely limited production

John Glaetzer was Wolf Blass” right-hand man almost from the word go, the power behind the throne of the three Jimmy Watson trophies awarded to Wolf Blass Wines in 1974, ’75 and ’76, and a small matter of 11 Montgomery trophies for the Best Red Wine at the Adelaide Wine Show. This has always been a personal venture on the side, as it were, by John and wife Margarete Glaetzer, officially sanctioned of course, but really needing little marketing effort.
