The Story

JACOB’S CREEK Heritage range comprises the finest wines made under the Jacob’s Creek brand. Each Heritage wine honors a person and place in the rich history of Gramp & Sons winery that stretches back over 160 years.

Bungalow Lane Cabernet Sauvignon pays tribute to Gustav Gramp, the man who first registered the company, G.Gramp & Sons who built and lived in the bungalow opposite the vineyard. This wine exudes all the hallmarks of exceptional Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose has layers of expression; dark chocolate, ripe plum with subtle cinnamon and oak derived cedar.

Plum and dark chocolate on the nose, chunky tannins with rich plum and dark chocolate on the palate. The perfect wine to match with rib eye steak and hearty winter vegetables.
