Our Award-winning story

Glaetzer-Dixon is one of the most highly awarded wine producers in Tasmania, having won the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show and Gourmet Traveller's Young Winemaker of the Year Award. Winemaker Nick Glaetzer, who runs the company with his wife Sally, has been named one of the world’s top 50 wine and spirit professionals by London's International Wine & Spirits Competition and the WSET Trust.

When Glaetzer-Dixon’s Mon Père Shiraz won the 50th Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy in 2011, it was the first time a Tasmanian producer had won Australia’s most prestigious wine award.

It was Glaetzer-Dixon’s Rêveur Pinot Noir and Avancé Pinot Noir that saw Nick named Gourmet Traveller Young Winemaker of the Year in 2011, for what the judges called “thinking outside the square” when making pinot noir. In recent years Nick has taken things up another notch, with the release of his La Judith Pinot Noir (96 points in The Wine Advocate), named in honour of his late mother.
