Although this wine originates from Australia, it remains a staple on every wine lover's list in India. But how much do you really know about this brand? Let's explore Jacob's Creek wine more thoroughly, covering its types and pricing in India.
It was in 1847 in South Australia’s Barossa Valley that Johann Gramp planted the first vineyard. This vineyard was located right along the banks of a small creek, which was named after the surveyor William Jacob. Gramp’s efforts beautifully captured Barossa’s sun-drenched red rich soils and the Mediterranean climate, which is perfect for Cabernet and Shiraz. This laid the foundation for these fruit-driven wines, which by the 1980s became the top export of Australia.
The winery at Rowland Flat has evolved for over 170 years. It has been blending tradition with innovation. Jacob’s Creek has become symbolic of Australian viticulture’s rise in the global market. Jacob's Creek entered the Indian market in the late 1990s to early 2000s through Pernod Ricard India, leveraging the company's strong distribution network. The brand positioned itself as an affordable premium option and focused on urban metro cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi.
