The vines flourished and led to the production of their first vintage in 1850, making around 12 dozen bottles of hock style white wine from one small octave oak barrel.

In 1847, Johann Gramp, the founder of Orlando Wines, planted some of the first grape vines in the Barossa Valley[citation needed] along the banks of Jacob's Creek.

The brand has sponsored many events, including the Tour Down Under, but ended sponsorship in 2005 to return to traditional means of promotion, namely television and radio.

[citation needed] Since 2012, it has run television campaigns during the tournament featuring leading international tennis players sharing intimate anecdotes about their lives.

[3] A brand of wine produced by Jacob's Creek is "Cool Harvest", made by picking the grapes at the coolest period of the night to maximise the retention of tropical aromas and natural acidity.
