Jacob's Creek Wines
Jacob’s Creek is rooted in 170 years of winemaking tradition, which began when Johann Gramp planted his first vineyard on the banks of Jacob’s Creek in 1847. In doing so, Johann founded the Gramp & Sons winery and began a history of winemaking innovation that continues today.

Brand History
In 1840, when William Jacob settled on a small piece of land next to an unnamed creek, he would have never dreamed that it would one day become an icon of Australian wine, known around the world. Since then, our wine has been produced along its banks across the Barossa, created to reflect the true character of the grapes and the land.
Today our Viti team take their job very seriously. As they should – it’s here that the whole process starts, and it’s their decisions that not only affect the next vintage but perhaps the vintages for generations to come.
