The Delhi event will be outside Akira Back with dishes from this and other specialty restaurants of the hotel. It has also been announced for March 20 in Mumbai at ITC Grand Central.
The Longest Reserve Table is a result of Jacob’s Creek Reserve partnership with leading 5-star hotels across metro cities including Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai and Gurgaon, where the chefs will be pushing the boundaries to create tantalizing dishes to complement select wines from the Jacob’s Creek Reserve range sourced from two of Australia’s most premium wine regions- Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills.

Subhash Arora, Founder President of the premier Club says, ‘the members love good food with 4-5 wines at these dinners where they also learn about winemaking and the wines besides enjoying the gourmet experience of the evening. I love Jacob’s Creek Reserve and I think it will be a great opportunity for the limited number of members that would be allotted a seat, to savour the experience.’

Barossa & Adelaide Hills Regions
Barossa is barely an hour’s drive from Adelaide, where the first vines were planted over 160 years ago. It consists of two regions – the warm Barossa Valley and the cooler Eden Valley ranges. Characterized by gentle rolling hills and valleys, Barossa Valley’s mediterranean climate is perfect for growing luscious Shiraz, nurturing the grapes to develop soft velvety tanins and delicious flavours the region is world famous for. It’s rich full bodied Shiraz is a unique combination of ripe plum, blackberry and chocolate flavours that are typical in the Barossa. Jacob’s Creek Reserve Barossa Shiraz is a fine expression of the region.
Adelaide Hills is a young vibrant wine region. Its twisting hills and valleys provide an array of growing conditions that yield elegant and complex wines. The cool climate of the region allows the grapes to retain high natural acidity which is ideal for producing crisp and refreshing Chardonnay. The wine displays delicious citrus notes with hint of white peach combined with roasted cashew nut nuances from oak barrel ageing.This makes Adelaide Hills a perfect region for the Jacob’s Creek Reserve Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.
Jacob’s Creek Reserve Barossa Shiraz is richly perfumed and aromatic, with intense dark berry fruits. It is layered subtly with black pepper and restrained, stylish oak, supported by softly textured fruit tannins. The finish is long and savoury. It is a genuine expression of the terroir of Barossa-the region that made the world take a note of Australian Shiraz.
Jacob’s Creek Reserve Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is a full flavoured wine with crisp acidity, elegant structure and a rich creamy texture. An intense expression of a cool climate Chardonnay, it has flavours of citrus and white peach, with shades of spicy oak and cashews- an expression of delicious Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
