Jacob's Creek is a name that's linked with wine. They've been making great wines for a few years, and they just keep getting better! Actually you can trace the origins of their wine all of 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 the years Johann purchased more land, augmenting the amount of grapes they could grow.
In 1872 Johann passed down the vineyards to his boy Gustav, it was not till 1912 that 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 that point 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 big hit, the company started exporting to Countries around the globe.
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 has got a great powerful taste and is a great wine to sample of the Jacob's Creek range. So if you're 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 the amazing wines Jacob's Stream has to supply!
