About Jacob＇s Creek

Jacob's Creek is an Australian wine producer with a portolio spanning several regions and grape varieties. It is best known for its good-value wines made from classic Australian varieties like Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, which it sources from vineyards in Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills and the Barossa Valley, the region it calls home.

The company Gramp & Sons was established in 1847 when Bavarian immigrant Johann Gramp planted vines along the banks of Jacob's Creek. The first wines were made in 1850, but the Jacob's Creek name didn't appear on a bottle until 1976, with the release of a 1973 blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Today, the brand is owned and managed by global drinks company Pernod Ricard.

Jacob's Creek makes a wide range of wines under several titles. The Reserve range, introduced in 2000, features varietal wines made from Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. The core Classic collection includes a range of varietal wines, along with Grenache – Shiraz and Shiraz – Cabernet blends. The company also produces a wide range of sparkling wines from the Champagne varieties, Sauvignon Blanc and Glera.

While the company is best known for its everyday wines, the extensive line-up is led by a range of deluxe cuvées, many of which pre-date the formation of the Jacob's Creek brand. These include the Steingarten Riesling from Eden Valley, the Johann Shiraz – Cabernet blend, the Centenary Hill Barossa Shiraz and the Double Barrel Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Barossa Shiraz.
