✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Shiraz Cabernet blend is a quintessential Australian innovation, often referred to as the 'Great Australian Blend.' Jacob's Creek has perfected this style for the global stage, combining the rich, plum-driven generosity of Shiraz with the structured, mint-and-cassis profile of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, this wine represents a harmonious marriage of two powerhouse varieties. Historically, Australian winemakers in the mid-20th century realized that blending these two grapes created a complete, balanced wine where Shiraz fills the mid-palate that Cabernet sometimes lacks, while Cabernet provides a firm, elegant spine. The result is an approachable, medium-bodied red that captures the sunshine and vibrant fruit character of South Australian terroirs, matured with a touch of oak to add subtle spice and complexity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Jacob's Creek er en af Australiens mest ikoniske vinproducenter med en historie, der trækker tråde tilbage til 1847. Dengang plantede den bayerske immigrant Johann Gramp Barossa Valleys første kommercielle vinmark langs bredden af Jacob's Creek. Selve brandet blev officielt lanceret i 1976 og har siden spillet en afgørende rolle i at udbrede imødekommende og udtryksfulde australske vine til resten af verden. Vinhuset høster druer fra nogle af Sydaustraliens fineste terroirs og lægger vægt på druetypicitet, saftig frugtkarakter og innovative fadlagringsteknikker. Porteføljen spænder vidt – fra den klassiske Shiraz Cabernet og den elegante Steingarten Riesling til den nyskabende Double Barrel-serie – og forener på fornemmeste vis Barossas stolte traditioner med moderne vinmagerkunst.
