Description

The 19 Crimes Red Blend is more than just a wine; it is a captivating tribute to the daring history of 18th-century British convicts who were transported to Australia. Instead of facing execution, these individuals were given a second chance, forced to forge a new life on a wild, untamed continent. Today, this iconic Australian brand celebrates that spirit of defiance and resilience in every bottle. Each label features the portrait of a real convict who was banished for one of the nineteen crimes that carried a sentence of transportation, and through the innovative use of augmented reality technology, you can literally watch their stories come to life on your smartphone.

This Red Blend is a masterclass in approachable, bold, and fruit-forward winemaking. Crafted primarily from a harmonious assembly of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Shiraz, it is specifically designed to please a wide variety of palates. The wine undergoes maturation in American oak barrels for approximately one year, which imparts its signature profile of sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and rich chocolate notes that beautifully complement the core of ripe, jammy dark berries and black plums. On the palate, it is full-bodied and remarkably smooth, with a subtle, pleasing sweetness and soft tannins that make it exceptionally easy to drink.

Why choose this wine? It offers a unique sensory and historical experience at a very accessible price point. Its bold, jammy character makes it an ideal companion for hearty, comforting dishes. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats such as lamb chops, spare ribs, or a classic beef steak. It also stands up well to spicy pasta sauces, medium-ripened cheeses, or even a casual evening of barbecue with friends. Whether you are a history buff intrigued by the stories of the colonial era or simply looking for a reliable, crowd-pleasing, and flavorful red wine for your next dinner party, the 19 Crimes Red Blend delivers a memorable 'crime' you will happily commit again and again.
