'Jacob's Creek' is an
Australian wine brand that is exported to over 60 countries. It is owned and produced by
Orlando Wines in the small township of
Rowland Flat in the
Barossa Valley. In 1847 Johann Gramp, the founder of
Orlando Wines, planted some of the first
grape vines in the Barossa Valley along the banks of
Jacob's Creek. Over a century later, in 1976, a 1973 vintage Shiraz Cabernet Malbec became the first wine to be released under the Jacob's Creek label.
The brand formerly sponsored many events, including the
Tour Down Under, but ended sponsorship in 2006 to return to traditional means of promotion, namely television and radio. However, naming rights have been retained for the
Jacob's Creek Open Championship.
