Jacob's Creek is a name that is associated with wine. They have been making great wines for a few years, and they just keep getting better! In fact , you can trace the origination of their wine all of the way back to 1837!
A fellow called Johann Gramp planted the 1st grape vine in the town of Jacob's Creek, and from this spawned the multi million dollar wine company that's Jacob's Creek. Over time Johann purchased more land, augmenting the quantity of grapes they could grow.
In 1872 Johann passed down the vineyards to his son Gustav, nevertheless it wasn't until 1912 the family registered their first firm name - G. Gramp & Sons. They produced wine under this name till 1976 when the first wine to bear the Jacob's Creek brand was made. This wine was a vintage mix Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Since then there were 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 Britain. After this proved to be a big hit, the company started exporting to States 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 Diner and Best Tourism Winery.
Of the prevailing batch of wines produced by Jacobs Creek, the Jacobs Creek Pinot Noir Vintage 2013 is a good drop. It has got a great strong taste and is a great wine to taste of the Jacob's Creek range. So if you are new to wine, and are wanting to taste some of the best wine in the world , you'd better get down to the local bottle shop and take a quick look at all of the superb wines Jacob's Creek has to supply!
