Wine has a long rich history stretching back to 3000 BC - when the worlds first known winery appeared in a cavern amongst the mountainous areas of Armenia. Fast forward thousands of years, and wine is the most generally recognised and consumed alcoholic libation. Australia got it's first fast of wine on the day it was found in 1788. Captain Cook and the First Fleet brought with them the cuttings of vines from S. A. - which was then the biggest provider of wine to Europe. These primary plantings didn't take, and it wasn't till the early 19th century that the first successful vineyards were grown. It was not till late in the 20th century that Australia's wine production became more widely recognized across the oceans to mainland Europe and the Americas.
Johann Gramp planted his first vineyard on the banks of Jacobs Creek in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, in 1847. Originally known as Gramp & Boys wine, the first bottle of what's now known as Jacob's Creek wines appeared in 1974.
Among a colorful and big variety of wines produced by Jacobs Stream, an extremely well-liked wine is the Jacob's Stream Pinot Noir Vintage 2013. It is awfully competitively priced, with it available for $9 from most leading bottle shops and basements.
The aroma is light and sweet and is truly quite delicate, which is amongst the powerful point of this wine. It has a extraordinarily delicate pink color, which is kind of attractive. The taste is completely spectacular! It is a good medium bodied pinot, which has beautiful fruit flavours that explode on your tongue. The flavours that come through are strawberry and black cherry, but there are more berries that linger on the tongue.
The aftertaste is something that you must experience for yourself, as it leaves you with a sweet mouth, and also makes you would like to take another sip. As the sweetness lingers on the tongue, it makes for a great wine to go with your lunch or dinner, as it isn't too overwhelming.
