Kirsten Glaetzer |
 Kirsten Glaetzer is a member of one of the most famous winemaking dynasties in the Barossa Valley - being related to all the "other" winemaking Glaetzers in John (Wolf Blass), Colin (Glaetzer Wines) and Sam (Saltram). As a recent graduate of the famous Charles Sturt University winemaking degree Kirsten will have no trouble making a "name" for herself in Australian winemaking circles.
