Orlando

The large Australian wine multinational "Orlando Wyndham Group", based in Rowland Flat in the GI area of Barossa Valley (South Australia), was acquired by the French beverage group Pernod Ricard in 1989. The company became famous in the 1990s primarily through the "Jacobs's Creek" created by Philip Laffer. It is named after the Australian surveyor William Jacob, who surveyed the Barossa Valley in 1840. In 1847, Johann Gramp (1819-1903), a native of Bavaria, planted the first vines on the banks of Jacob's Creek. This branded wine achieved immense popularity and even surpassed the sales volumes of a Mouton Cadet worldwide. The Bordeaux-style red wine is produced from grapes from various GI areas. The Jacob's Creek white wine is blended from Sémillon and Chardonnay. However, other brands are also produced, including Gramps, Jacaranda Ridge, Lawson's Shiraz, Steingarten Rhine Riesling, St Helena Rhine Riesling and St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery was honoured with the coveted O'Shea Award in 1994.
