Description

Step into a story of history, rebellion, and redemption with every glass of 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon. This unique Australian wine is more than just a beverage; it is a tribute to the 18th-century British convicts who were sentenced to 'transportation'—banishment to the harsh, unknown frontier of Australia. These outlaws, having broken one of the 19 specific crimes deemed punishable by exile, forged new lives, helped build a nation, and became the folk heroes of modern Australian lore. Each bottle label features the mugshot of one of these real convicts, bringing their gripping stories of survival and transformation directly to your table.

Crafted to be bold, accessible, and intensely flavorful, this Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect companion for those who appreciate a wine with a rebellious spirit. On the nose, you will be greeted by an inviting, intense aroma defined by lifted notes of sweet vanilla, balanced beautifully with hints of violets and dark mulberry fruits. On the palate, the experience is firm and full-bodied, offering a rich mouthfeel. The characteristic vanilla notes carry through to the taste, seamlessly complementing deep flavors of dark cherries, red currants, and a subtle touch of milk chocolate. It is a smooth, easy-drinking wine, finished with soft, approachable tannins that create a pleasant and lingering experience.

Why choose 19 Crimes? Because it captures the adventurous essence of Australian winemaking. Sourced from the expansive South Eastern Australia region—a vast area encompassing renowned vineyards known for producing grapes of exceptional consistency and depth—this wine is engineered to appeal to the modern palate. It is the ideal 'everyday' red, perfect for unwinding after a long day or sharing with friends who enjoy a good story alongside their meal.

When it comes to food pairings, 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon is incredibly versatile due to its bold fruit profile and smooth texture. It is a natural match for hearty, savory dishes. Pair it with a classic grilled ribeye steak or slow-roasted lamb to allow the wine’s tannins to cut through the richness of the meat. If you prefer something simpler, it goes wonderfully with rustic pasta dishes featuring robust tomato sauces, or a curated board of hard, aged cheeses like sharp cheddar or gouda. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening, this wine offers a distinct, conversation-starting experience that honors the rule-breakers of the past while delivering a thoroughly enjoyable, modern drinking experience. Discover the crime—and the pleasure—of 19 Crimes.
