Recommended for Casual Parties: High-Value Sparkling "Jacob's Creek" | JACOB’S CREEK
JACOB’S CREEK | Jacob's Creek
Two sparkling wines from Jacob's Creek to enjoy this holiday season.
EDITOR’S EYE
The acidity, often too strong in value sparkling wines, is just right.
The taste is light and unobtrusive, pairing well with a wide range of home-cooked meals.
Perfect for casual parties or for enjoying on your own without reservation. It's a smooth, refined taste that doesn't become cloying even when drinking a lot.
This was actually my first time trying Jacob's Creek, and it's made me want to explore it further.
Pernod Ricard Japan has released "Jacob's Creek Reserve Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2018" and "Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir Limited Design Bottle" from the Australian wine brand Jacob's Creek. Both are sparkling wines made from ripe grapes harvested from carefully selected vineyards, offering a rich flavor.

Sparkling Wine with Citrus and Nut Aromas
The "Jacob's Creek Reserve Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2018" features a smooth, pleasant mouthfeel. High-quality grapes, harvested at night to maintain their rich flavor, are gently pressed and aged for over 12 months in a secondary fermentation in the bottle, developing a creamy and full-bodied character. It has a pale straw color, with fresh citrus aromas complemented by subtle toasty and nutty notes. The palate is mellow, with a harmonious balance of acidity and minerality, making it an excellent pairing for Camembert cheese, fresh oysters, and lobster dishes.
The "Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Pinot Noir Limited Design Bottle" is distinguished by its label designed by Australian textile designer Cassie Byrnes. This limited-edition item, adorned with a design inspired by Australia's native flora, is perfect for the holiday season. It harmoniously blends the freshness of Pinot Noir with aromas of citrus fruit and toasted nuts. Creaminess derived from the yeast adds depth to the flavor, pairing wonderfully with dishes that highlight rich ingredients and textures, such as deep-fried small shrimp, bamboo shoot spring rolls, and lotus root salad. This elegant sparkling wine, with its vibrant and fresh Pinot Noir character, is the perfect bottle for sharing special moments with close friends and family.
