Jacob's Creek is a name that is associated with wine. They've been making great wines for a number of years, and they just keep getting better! In fact , you can trace the provenance of their wine all the way back to 1837!
A man called Johann Gramp planted the first grape vine in the town of Jacob's Creek, and from this spawned the multi million buck wine company that's Jacob's Creek. Over time Johann acquired more land, increasing the amount of grapes they could grow.
In 1872 Johann passed down the vineyards to his boy Gustav, nevertheless it wasn't until 1912 that the family registered their first business name - G. Gramp & Sons. They produced wine under this name till 1976 when the 1st wine to bear the Jacob's Creek brand was made. This wine was a vintage mix Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Since that time there have been many wines to come out wearing the Jacob's Creek label, and in 1984 the company decided to take it's wine outside of Australia and start selling in the UK. After this proved to be a hit, the company started exporting to Countries across the world.
Fast forward to today, and Jacob's Creek remains one of the forerunners of the wine industry, not just with the wine they produce, but also the tourism they bring to Australia. In 2011 they won the Qantas Australia Tourism Awards for Best Tourism Diner and Best Tourism Winery.
Of the current batch of wines produced by Jacobs Creek, the Jacobs Creek Pinot Noir Vintage 2013 is an excellent drop. It's got a great powerful taste and is a great wine to sample of the Jacob's Creek range. So if you are new to wine, and are wanting to sample some of the finest wine in the world , you'd better get down to the local bottle shop and take a look at all the wonderful wines Jacob's Stream has to offer!
