Jacob's Creek Classic Shiraz 75cl
★★★★½ 4.7 (3 reviews)Pour this and you get a glassful of warm, juicy plum and ripe berries with a friendly little kick of pepper at the end. It's a Shiraz that doesn't make you work for it: soft, generous, medium-bodied, the kind of red you open on a Tuesday just because. Got a plate of nyama choma on the way and a late one ahead? This is your bottle. We'll have it at your door fast, whatever the hour.
Stick your nose in and it's all dark fruit: plum, blackberry, a whiff of spicy red berry with a soft edge of vanilla and mocha from the oak. First sip is round and fruit-forward, more savoury than sweet (it's a dry wine), with gentle, smooth tannins that don't grip your cheeks. It finishes warm and a touch peppery with a cedar note. Nothing harsh, nothing to overthink. Just a comfortable, easy red that keeps you coming back for the next glass.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Jacob's Creek is one of Australia's most famous names, and the story starts back in 1847 when Bavarian immigrant Johann Gramp planted the Barossa Valley's first commercial vineyard on the banks of an actual creek, named after an early settler called William Jacob. The brand as you know it landed in 1973 and is now made by Pernod Ricard out at Rowland Flat in the Barossa. The Classic range is their everyday line, built to be reliable, fruit-driven and good value, exactly what a midweek Shiraz should be.
