Step back in time and taste the rebellious spirit of 19 Crimes Chardonnay. This isn't just any white wine; it's a tribute to the 19 British convicts transported to Australia for their misdeeds, each bottle telling a story of daring and defiance. Hailing from the sun-soaked vineyards of South Eastern Australia, this Chardonnay embodies both the boldness of its heritage and the finesse of its craft.
The wine boasts a radiant straw-yellow hue, inviting you to explore its complex character. As you swirl the glass, aromas of ripe citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit mingle with notes of white peach, leading to a subtle hint of oak from its time in barrel. On the palate, it offers a refreshing dry taste, with the lively acidity cutting through a creamy texture, leaving you with a lingering, satisfying finish. The oak ageing gives it complexity and roundness, a delicate touch of vanilla that complements the fruit notes. It’s a wine that is simultaneously approachable and intriguing.
19 Crimes Chardonnay is an extremely versatile wine to pair with food. Its crispness and vibrancy make it an ideal match for lighter fare such as grilled seafood, lemon-herb roasted chicken, or a creamy pasta dish. The citrusy undertones will play well with the acidity in a fresh salad, while the oak hints will complement richer options like butter sauces. For a more casual setting, enjoy it alongside a platter of soft cheeses and fruits. Serve chilled at around 10°C to fully enjoy its refreshing character. This wine isn’t just a drink; it’s an experience. It's a perfect choice for anyone looking for a wine that's both distinctive and delicious, carrying the mark of the audacious spirits who lived in the past. You'll feel transported while tasting this wine, a truly unique tasting experience.
