Red wine | South Eastern Australia
19 Crimes is more than just a wine; it's a rebellion captured in a bottle. This wine pays homage to the rogues banished to Australia for committing one of the 19 crimes, transforming their punishment into a legacy of innovation and defiance. While the specific grape blend varies across the 19 Crimes range, many focus on bold red varietals. Typically, these wines showcase a rich profile of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, interwoven with enticing notes of vanilla, chocolate, and spice derived from oak aging. Expect a full-bodied experience with a smooth, lingering finish that speaks to the uncompromising character of those original convicts. 19 Crimes wines are incredibly versatile at the dinner table. Pair the bolder varieties with hearty dishes like grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or rich stews. The wine's fruity and slightly sweet character also makes it a fantastic match for barbecued ribs or spicy sausages. Even a simple burger with all the fixings is elevated when enjoyed alongside a glass of 19 Crimes. Why choose 19 Crimes? Because it's a conversation starter, a piece of history, and a damn good bottle of wine. It represents the pioneering spirit of Australia, where even the condemned could forge a new path. It's a wine that's not afraid to be bold, just like the individuals it celebrates. Open a bottle of 19 Crimes, and you're not just enjoying a wine; you're raising a glass to the rule-breakers, the innovators, and the unforgettable characters who shaped a nation.
