 Jacob's
Creek: The history of Jacob's Creek begins with the settlement of South Australia. Colonel William Light who surveyed the city of Adelaide in 1836 made his way north west in 1837 to the Barossa Valley, which he named after a famous English naval victory at Barossa in the south of Spain.
When William Jacob first surveyed the Barossa Region in 1839, he and his brother John took up land in the Hundred of Moorooroo. Moorooroo is derived from an aboriginal word meaning ‘meeting of two waters’. The two waters involved were the North Para River and creek, which fed into it. The latter was called ‘Cowieaurita’ – which took its rise in the high land around Mount Crawford – and means “yellow-brown water”, the color
produced from the iron laden soil. It was from these humble beginnings that one of Australia's most famous wine brands was to emerge. The Jacob's Creek brand in particular has a tradition of producing international award winning wines.

| Jacob's Creek has been the most popular brand in Australia and Australia's leading export brand for more than a decade and is widely
recognized as spearheading the country's export growth. Jacob's Creek is
Australia's number one wine export label, but its very success has required
Orlando Wyndham to impose export allocations to many countries. For the past few years, the firm has mounted an aggressive campaign to plant new vineyards and enter into long term grape contracts to guarantee supply of quality grapes for the Jacob's Creek export drive. |
