Jacob's Creek Launches 'Double Barrel' Wine Campaign Narrated by Chris Hemsworth
TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2017 /CNW/ - Jacob's Creek has teamed up with acclaimed Australian actor Chris Hemsworth in its latest campaign for premium wine range 'Double Barrel', with the release of a new commercial titled Two Barrels, One Soul.
The story, as narrated by Chris Hemsworth, takes viewers behind the scenes of the production of 'Double Barrel', an award-winning Australian wine range. The epic journey begins in a rustic whisky distillery in Scotland, then spans the continents, ending at the winery in the Barossa Valley, Australia.
Jacob's Creek's 'Double Barrel' range has been a complex project that has taken years to perfect. Matured in wine barrels, the wine is finished in whisky barrels for a richer, deeper and smoother finish. The dedication of the people and winemakers behind 'Double Barrel' is brought to life in this new creative approach, expressing the true passion and spirit of those involved.
"I'm proud to narrate this story for Jacob's Creek 'Double Barrel'. It's a true example of Australia's ingenuity, to create a unique wine," says Chris Hemsworth, star of Thor and The Avengers, "I look forward to tasting the next vintage in the Barossa in 2018."
Derek Oliver, Jacob's Creek Global Marketing Director says, "Chris is the perfect embodiment of the confident, inclusive Australian attitude synonymous with our wines. He has a commanding presence yet is approachable, and he clearly values spending quality time with family and friends. This, coupled with his global stature, makes him the right person to share this story with the world and we are extremely excited to be working with him."
"We're very proud to share this new campaign with Canadian consumers – it truly showcases the time, care and effort that goes into making every bottle of this quality wine," says Laura Bruce, Senior Brand Manager of Premium Wine Brands, Corby Spirit and Wine. "It brings the authenticity and expertise of our winemakers to life, while celebrating Double Barrel's innovative fusion of Australian wine with Scotch whisky barrels.
