Jacob's Creek is a name that is associated with wine. They have been making great wines for many years, and they just keep improving! In reality you can trace the provenance of their wine all of the way back to 1837!
A fellow called Johann Gramp planted the first 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 the years Johann acquired more and more land, increasing the quantity of grapes they could grow.
In 1872 Johann passed down the vineyards to his son Gustav, but it wasn't till 1912 the family registered their first business 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 have been 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 the United Kingdom. After this proved to be a hit, the company started exporting to Nations across the world.
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 Cafe and Best Tourism Winery.
Of the present batch of wines produced by Jacobs Creek, the Jacobs Creek Pinot Noir Vintage 2013 is an excellent drop. It's got a great strong taste and is a great wine to sample of the Jacob's Stream range. So if you're new to wine, and are wanting to sample some of the finest wine on the planet , you'd better get down to the local bottle shop and take a look at all of the wonderful wines Jacob's Creek has to offer!
