Description

Discover the rebellious spirit of Australia with 19 Crimes 'The Uprising' Red Blend. This distinctive wine is a bold tribute to the historic Rum Rebellion of 1808, where citizens and soldiers united to defy authority. Staying true to its namesake's defiant nature, a portion of this wine is aged for 30 days in rum barrels, a process that imparts a unique depth and a signature warm, sweet finish that sets it apart from traditional red blends.

Crafted primarily from a robust combination of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Grenache, this wine offers an intense and approachable experience. On the nose, you will be greeted by lifted aromas of rich mocha, velvety caramel, and complex baking spices. The palate is equally expressive, featuring a full-bodied, mouth-coating texture layered with deep, jammy flavors of ripe blackberry and raspberry, perfectly complemented by subtle hints of brown sugar and cinnamon. The finish is remarkably long, rich, and plush, leaving a pleasant smoky, vanilla-laden impression that lingers.

19 Crimes is renowned for its storytelling, and 'The Uprising' is no exception. Each bottle features a historical convict on the label—real rule-breakers who were transported to Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries. Using augmented reality technology, you can bring these figures to life, adding an engaging, modern twist to your tasting experience.

This wine is exceptionally versatile when it comes to food pairings, making it an excellent companion for hearty gatherings. Its bold structure stands up beautifully to savory red meats, such as grilled steaks or smoky barbecue ribs. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheddar or other hard cheeses, where the saltiness of the cheese contrasts perfectly with the wine's dark fruit and subtle spice profile. If you are looking for a wine that is as captivating to talk about as it is to drink—one that brings a touch of history, a bit of fun, and a lot of flavor to the table—19 Crimes 'The Uprising' is the perfect choice.
