Jacob’s Creek is a name that's linked with wine. They have been making great wines for many years, and they just keep getting better! In fact , you can trace the origins of their wine all of the way back to 1837!
A man 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's Jacob’s Creek. Over time Johann bought more land, augmenting the quantity of grapes they could grow.

In 1872 Johann passed down the vineyards to his son Gustav, it wasn't until 1912 the family registered their first business name – G. Gramp & Sons. They produced wine under this name until 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 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 crop of wines produced by Jacobs Creek, the Jacobs Creek Pinot Noir Vintage 2013 is an excellent drop.
