Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

I’m not a very good wine drinker. Well, actually, I’m a GREAT wine drinker, in that I am able to consume great quantities of the stuff once I got started. Trouble is that I just don’t hold it very well. And the wine that I like not to hold very well best is Jacob’s Creek Semillon Chardonnay. I’m sipping a glass right now, in fact, so if I trail off subject mid-op and start telling you that you’re all my best friend, ...
...from the South Eastern region of Australia, which is the area I believe most Aussie wine comes from. Not that it matters to me where it comes from – it tastes good on the buds and that’s the main thing. The wine comes in a standard looking 75cl bottle with a simple and rather classy label – no kangaroos, hissing snakes or koalas, which for me is always a good sign, less being more and all that. The bottle is corked, which again ...

Review of Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

Well, here I am ¾ of the way through a bottle of wine so I thought why not write about it. Problem is, as this is a new product it will probably be posted at about 9.30 in the morning and make me look really bad!! Anyway, the wine I am drinking is Jacob’s Creek Semillon Chardonnay – one of my favourite easy-drinking white wines. Children In Need is on TV, hubby is asleep on the floor, the children are in bed and I need cheering up. So ...
...to myself. This wine is produced in South Eastern Australia and the bottle I am drinking is from this year (2001 – in case you’re not sure!). The blurb on the bottle says that ‘it is vintaged from selected Semillon and Chardonnay grapes, sourced from a variety of Australia’s wine-growing regions. The fresh citrus characters of Semillon and the richness of Chardonnay produce a crisp, refreshing medium-bodied dry wine, with ...

Review of Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

Deano76 and Jools 30 have probably been awaiting this op, following our exchanges tonight they were aware that I have been sitting in front of my PC with a bottle of Jacob’s Creek Semillon Chardonnay which is a white wine from the South Eastern region of Australia. I am quite surprised that blurbubble hasn’t reviewed this one, as we are all familiar with her wine ops. I first stumbled across Jacob’s Creek when going for the local off licences buy ...
...drinking now cost me £4.69 from my local Budgens store. Drinks direct will charge you £5.88 for the pleasure – Umph! Jacob’s Creek comes in a recyclable green glass bottle with a simple cream label that discloses the background information of the vineyard as follows: In 1847, Johann Gramp, founder of Orlando wines, planted one of the first vineyards in the Barossa Valley on the banks of Jacob’s Creek. Jacob’s Creek Chardonnay is vintaged from selected ...

Review of Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

...1847, Johann Gramp planted his Jacob's Creek Vineyard, the first in the Barossa Valley. This vintage was tasted in a harbor-side restaurant at Carolina Beach NC and it proved to be the perfect accompaniment to snow crab legs. Frankly it is a tribute to the Jacob's Creek winemaking team, headed by Phil Laffer, that they can maintain such high standards with a high volume wine. That was the history lesson, and now with the modern 1999 version which ...
...hints of citrus fruit, which are confirmed on the palate alongside tropical fruit flavors. These are finely balanced with a touch of freshness and acidity before a most satisfying finish. It is excellent value for money and can be drunk as an aperitif or with most fish dishes, veal and other light meats. So as you can see I love this stuff and I would highly highly recommend it to anyone throwing a dinner party, or a similar such function. I don't ...

Review of Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

Next to my block of flats is a Sainbury's local. It isn't good for the big shop but it is good for nipping in for some fruit and veg, or a bottle after a hard week of work. Every week they have around 3-4 brands half price, quite often this one. I`ll be honest, I`m tight, and so always aim for the half price wine. I work on the principle that it's a nice brand, but half price which is better than getting an own brand for 14p a bottle less or so! ...
...fan of red wine whilst my partner is. When it comes to white she likes dry whilst I prefer the sweet. Not overly sweet, but fairly sweet. This is where the happy medium comes in from the advantages section :) The wine is a fairly heavy white wine which is good for "her indoors" as it's edging towards the red end of the spectrum but its white so I like it. It is also a good medium balance. I like it for the fruitiness whilst she does not find it too ...

Review of Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

A happy New Year, good health wealth and happiness I drink to you all with a glass of Jacobs Creek Semillon Chardonnay. A classy wine methinks. This wine is a southeastern Australian wine. It is corked rather than those horrid plastic caps A bottle, a simple classic design and a simple label no need for eye catching labels contains 75cl more than enough to make me happy. ) It is 12 % proof. I usually prefer red wines but this is a very good white ...
...This is a dry wine I prefer it chilled smooth and a little sharp a refreshing taste makes the pallet tingle leaves no unpleasant aftertaste. It has a sort of citruss'y flavour a clean taste. This wine goes well with fish and chicken / turkey but what do the experts know hey I like it with most foods. Tesco is selling a case of six for £25. 54p at the mo wpoks out 4.26 a bottle . our bottle is one we bought ages ago waiting for an occasion to drink ...

Review of Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

I think that drinking wine is quite a subjective and personal thing, but also that there are certain wines that many people enjoy and this is one of them! Jacobs Creek is now pretty famous because of the sponsorship they undertake of TV programmes and this wine is one of their best sellers. It's also won lots of awards so that many peopel must be right about drinking it!! I like this wine when it is very chilled and it is very nice to sip on a ...
...great for parties as it's light and fruity and goes well with almost any food such as fruit, fish and chicken. On eof my favourite dishes to have this wine with is salmon and pasta, the combination of tastes is great!! It's a very fruity wine and not very okay so tastes quite light and airy: definitely more so than JC Chardonnay. The packaging is nice and it's a good solid bottle that will sit well on any table. This wine doesn't not seem to cause ...

Review of Jacob's Creek Semillon Chardonnay

OK before anyone starts on me.... i know the whole world is going to disagree. I await the bad reviews I HATE CHARDONNAY, not necessarily just the Jacobs Creek one but all of them i havent found a nice one yet. Chardonnay seemed to suddenly become popular because people recognised a grape they knew in the rows and rows of wines at Unwins and Sainsburys, now you can hardly find anything else. Good points - Its Cheap You can pick up a bottle anywhere ...
...reputeable wine making companies make it It has a nice bouquet (smirk) Bad points - The taste is usually very sharp with a general a muddy taste to it It has taken over the supermarket shelves I dont like it I dont actually have anything usefull to say here but it would be nice if other wines could start fighting back. The chardonnay grade, especially if coupled with the semillion just doesnt do it for me.... thumbs down ...
