✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic soils of the Barossa Valley in South Australia, the Jacob's Creek Survivor Vines Shiraz is a tribute to the resilience of the region's oldest vineyards. The name honors those rare, ancient vines that survived the devastating vine-pull schemes of the 1980s and the harsh Australian elements over many decades. These low-yielding, deep-rooted old vines produce grapes of extraordinary concentration and complexity. Crafted with traditional winemaking techniques, including maturation in premium French and American oak hogsheads, this Shiraz showcases a dense, full-bodied profile. It weaves a rich tapestry of dark bramble fruits, warm baking spices, and earthy undertones, reflecting the unique terroir and living history of South Australian viticulture.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its heritage to 1847 when Bavarian immigrant Johann Gramp planted the first commercial vineyard along the banks of Jacob's Creek in the Barossa Valley, Jacob's Creek has grown into one of Australia's most iconic wine producers. Officially introduced as a distinct label in 1976, the winery has played a foundational role in bringing approachable, expressive Australian wine to the global stage. Sourcing fruit across prime South Australian terroirs, the estate focuses on varietal purity, vibrant fruit character, and innovative barrel-finishing techniques. Renowned for benchmark releases ranging from the classic Shiraz Cabernet and refined Steingarten Riesling to the pioneering Double Barrel series, Jacob's Creek seamlessly bridges deep Barossa tradition with modern winemaking excellence.
