OUR HISTORY
The Creation of our Business
Pernod Ricard Winemakers is the winemaking business that sits within the Pernod Ricard Group — a company established by Patrick Ricard and Jean Hémard in 1975. Today, Pernod Ricard possesses an unmatched portfolio of wines and spirits brands that excites consumers across the world.
Entering the Wine Business
Pernod Ricard entered the wine sector when our two Barossa brands — Jacob’s Creek and St Hugo — were acquired in 1989. Now, Pernod Ricard Winemakers is one of the most renowned wine producers in the world.
Our Founding Philosophy
The philosophy of the company was established by Patrick Ricard and Jean Hémard back in 1975, and this remains central to who we are today. Patrick’s motto — to “make a new friend every day” — still inspires us as much now as it did then.
