Winemaker's Bio
Kevin Glastonbury or ‘KG’ to us, knows the Barossa like the back of his hand. A hands-on, get dirty approach has been his key to success as a winemaker.
His knowledge of the Barossa helps him understand the environment and innovate as Senior Red Winemaker for Yalumba. KG also looks after the sourcing and purchasing of oak for the crafting of barrels — a proud tradition at our on-site cooperage.
KG’s blend of passion and expertise has been recognised with numerous accolades, such as becoming a Len Evan tutorial scholar, respected wine judge, and Winestate ‘Winemaker of the Year’.
