Jacob's Creek



About
Jacob's Creek is a popular Australian creek, running through the wine-producing region of the Barossa Valley. But this creek is mostly known for lending its name to the famous Australian wine brand Jacob's Creek. Ever since the first vineyard planted in 1847 by Johann Gramp, Jacob's Creek has been among the most popular and best wine producers in Australia. The vision of this wine enthusiast was to create a variety of great red wines and white wines that perfectly reflect the true character of the land and the grapes. Today, Jacob's Creek grows grapes in three different regions.

Barossa – Barossa is the world's oldest vineyard region, where some of the best tasting wines in the world have been produced, especially Riesling and Shiraz. Dry, warm and with deeper soils, the Barossa Valley is perfectly suited for growing intense full-bodied Shiraz, while Eden Valley (a part of Barossa) is known for a cooler climate with shallow rocks, where world-class Rieslings are produced.

Adelaide Hills – The Adelaide Hills region is near east Adelaide. As one of the coolest regions in Australia, the Adelaide Hills offer many different soil types, which results in a huge diversity of altitude, soils and of course, wines. The cool climate of Adelaide Hills is perfect for producing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.

Coonawarra – The world's finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines are produced in Coonawarra, one of the most popular wine regions of Australia. Located far south east of South Australia, with a temperate climate and cooling breezes, Coonawarra stretches out in well arranged rows along the main road.
