Ahoy there, wine enthusiast! Let me introduce you to a wine that’s as rebellious as it is delicious: the 19 Crimes Hard Chard. This isn't your grandma’s Chardonnay – unless your grandma was a convicted transportee to Australia, that is. 19 Crimes is a brand steeped in history, named after the 19 offenses that could get you exiled from Britain to the harsh lands down under. Each bottle tells a tale, and this Hard Chard is no exception.
The 19 Crimes Hard Chard hails from South Eastern Australia, a region known for its warm climate and diverse terroir, ideal for growing robust and flavorful Chardonnay grapes. The winemakers at 19 Crimes have crafted a wine that is bold, unapologetic, and brimming with personality. This Chardonnay doesn't shy away from its oak influence. In fact, it embraces it wholeheartedly, resulting in a wine with a rich, creamy texture and complex flavor profile. You can expect to encounter delightful notes of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, interwoven with layers of vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle hint of spice.
This wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes. The creaminess of the wine makes it a fantastic companion to grilled seafood like salmon or prawns. It's also a great match for roasted chicken or pork, especially when accompanied by creamy sauces or buttery vegetables. For a vegetarian option, try pairing it with a butternut squash risotto or a mushroom-based pasta dish. The wine's oaky notes will complement the earthy flavors of the mushrooms perfectly. But beyond the flavors and aromas, the 19 Crimes Hard Chard offers something more: a story. Each bottle features a convict from the 19 Crimes era, brought to life through augmented reality via the 19 Crimes app. It’s a chance to connect with history in a unique and engaging way. The 19 Crimes Hard Chard is more than just a bottle of wine; it’s an experience, a conversation starter, and a celebration of the rebellious spirit. So, raise a glass to those who defied the odds and helped shape the land down under. Cheers!
