The story of Jacobs Creek Cab Sauv

Jacob's Creek takes its name from a small creek in South Australia's Barossa Valley. In 1847 the Bavarian immigrant Johann Gramp planted his first vines on its banks, and in 1850 he made the first vintage, around twelve dozen bottles of hock-style white wine from a single small oak barrel.

The Jacob's Creek label itself appeared in 1976, on a 1973 Shiraz Cabernet Malbec. The company behind it, Orlando Wines, has been owned by Pernod Ricard since 1989, and winemaking is now led by Chief Winemaker Dan Swincer, who took the role in 2018.

Cabernet Sauvignon is the child of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, a crossing that DNA testing confirmed in 1996. Blackcurrant is the grape's signature, and this bottle shows ripe blackcurrant and plum with smooth tannins and subtle oak. It is medium bodied and structured, with depth but an approachable feel.

Jacob's Creek suggests serving it at 12 to 18 degrees Celsius. Beef fillet, a marinated roast leg of lamb or a lamb ragu with tagliatelle all stand up to it.
