Jacob's Creek is a name that is linked with wine. They have been making great wines for a few years, and they just keep getting better! Actually you can trace the origins of their wine all 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 buck wine company that is Jacob's Creek. Over time Johann bought more land, augmenting the amount of grapes they could grow.
In 1872 Johann handed down the vineyards to his boy Gustav, nevertheless it wasn't till 1912 the family registered their first company name - G. Gramp & Sons. They produced wine under this name till 1976 when the first wine to bear the Jacob's Creek brand was created. This wine was a vintage blend 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 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 Cafe and Best Tourism Winery.
Of the prevailing crop of wines produced by Jacobs Creek, the Jacobs Creek Pinot Noir Vintage 2013 is a very good drop. It has a great strong taste and is a great wine to sample of the Jacob's Creek range. So if you are new to wine, and are desiring to sample some of the best wine on the planet , you'd better get down to the local bottle shop and look at all of the superb wines Jacob's Creek has to offer!
