Jacob's Creek is a name that's synonymous with wine. They've been making great wines for a few years, and they just keep improving! Actually you can trace the provenance of their wine all the way back to 1837!
A fellow called Johann Gramp planted the 1st grape vine in the city of Jacob's Creek, and from this spawned the multi million dollar wine company that is Jacob's Creek. Over the years Johann bought more and more land, increasing the quantity of grapes they could grow.
In 1872 Johann handed down the vineyards to his boy Gustav, nevertheless it wasn't until 1912 that the family registered their first company name - G. Gramp & Sons. They produced wine under this name until 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 were many wines to come out wearing the Jacob's Creek label, and in 1984 the company made a decision to take it's wine outside of Australia and start selling in Britain. After this proved to be a success, the company started exporting to Countries around the globe.
Fast forward to now, 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 Restaurant and Best Tourism Winery.
Of the prevailing crop of wines produced by Jacobs Creek, the Jacobs Creek Pinot Noir Vintage 2013 is an excellent drop. It has a great robust taste and is a great wine to sample of the Jacob's Creek range. So if you're new to wine, and are needing to taste some of the finest wine in the world , you'd better get down to the local bottle shop and take a quick look at all of the wonderful wines Jacob's Creek has to offer!
