Wine Jacob's Creek Chardonnay 2018 (Australia)

Jacobs Creek makes Chardonnay and its quality is recognized worldwide.

Way back in 1847, a young Bavarian immigrant by the name of Johann Gramp planted the Barossa Valley’s first commercial vineyard on the banks of Jacob’s Creek. Today, Johann’s original cellar is still standing at Jacob’s Creek. It’s a testament to his enduring passion for wine. Johann’s legacy instilled a simple winemaking philosophy that gave birth to one of the world’s most popular wine brands.

Chardonnay is unquestionably the most important white grape variety around the world, and this is certainly the case in Australia, where it is used to produce sparkling and dry white wine styles. Chardonnay grown in warm regions of Australia produces wines with ripe melon flavours, in the cooler areas the flavours tend to be more peach and citrus-like.  Some of Australia’s most popular Chardonnays are often blends of wines made from both warm and cool regions. With rare exceptions, Chardonnay benefits from maturation in oak, the oak flavour greatly complementing the fruit flavours of Chardonnay. Australian Chardonnay wines are best drunk when they are relatively young (1-3 years), and are an exceptionally good accompaniment to a range of foods from delicate seafood through most white meats or some red meats, including lamb.
This versatile variety when blended with Pinot Noir makes Australia’s greatest sparkling wines. Chardonnay is successful in many districts of Australia, with the most famous being Padthaway, Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills and the Margaret River in Western Australia.
