Description

Step into a rebellious piece of history with 19 Crimes The Uprising, a bold, non-conformist red wine from South Eastern Australia. This unique offering pays homage to the 'Rum Rebellion' of 1808, a historic moment when soldiers and citizens banded together to overthrow the government. Reflecting that same defiant spirit, this wine is crafted to be intensely rich and unapologetically flavor-forward.

What sets The Uprising apart is its innovative winemaking technique: a portion of the wine is aged for 30 days in authentic rum barrels. This process imparts a distinct, warm, and mouth-coating sweetness that separates it from standard table reds. On the nose, you are greeted by intense, lifted aromatics of mocha, decadent caramel, and baking spices. The palate follows through with a bold, jammy concentration, showcasing flavors of ripe blackberry, raspberry, and dark chocolate, perfectly complemented by subtle notes of brown sugar and cinnamon.

This is a wine designed for those who enjoy a full-bodied experience with a plush, smooth finish. It is not overly complex or demanding; rather, it is crafted to be enjoyed immediately, making it the perfect companion for a casual evening with friends, a backyard barbecue, or a hearty dinner. Its robust structure and touch of residual sweetness make it an ideal partner for spicy foods, which can balance the intensity of the fruit, as well as rich red meats like steak or lamb, and even hard cheeses.

19 Crimes has become renowned not only for their accessible, value-driven wines but also for their captivating storytelling. Each bottle invites you to learn about the historical convicts who were transported to Australia, turning their punishment into a new life. Whether you are a casual drinker looking for something smooth and delicious or a collector interested in the unique 'rum barrel' aging trend, The Uprising delivers a memorable, rich, and crowd-pleasing experience that definitely lives up to its name.
