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.
