The skill of the winemaker is crucial to the quality of the
wine we all enjoy. The soil, climate and grape type are all
important, but in the hands of the wrong winemaker, even great
grapes on brilliant soil in a good season can make mediocre
wine.
It's the winemaker who'll decide when the grapes are best
for picking - after tasting them off the vine – and
then oversee every aspect of their development.
The Jacob's Creek winemaking team is focused on continually
improving the quality of our wines to ensure that the style
is consistent and the quality continually improved at each
vintage.
There are many winemakers involved in the making of Jacob's
Creek in any one vintage. These highly professional and skilled
artisans are ably lead by Group Chief Winemaker, Philip
Laffer and his trusted lieutenant Bernard Hickin.
