✨ Technical Specifications
Jacob's Creek 'Johann' Shiraz Cabernet stands as a flagship tribute to Johann Gramp, the Bavarian immigrant who planted the winery's very first vines along the banks of Jacob's Creek in 1847. This premium cuvée represents the pinnacle of the classic Australian blend, combining the rich, plush plum and spice of Shiraz with the structured, leafy cassis notes of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from exceptional, low-yielding vineyards across South Australia's finest regions, including the Barossa Valley, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation before aging in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak hogsheads. The result is a powerful yet elegant red that honors the pioneering spirit of the estate with its deep complexity, velvety tannins, and remarkable longevity.
