Description

19 Crimes Sauvignon Blanc is not just a wine; it's a bold statement, a journey through the rugged history of Australia, encapsulated in a bottle. This particular vintage hails from the vast South Eastern Australia region, a land renowned for its diverse climates that nurture grapes of exceptional character. It's crafted by 19 Crimes, a winery that dares to be different, inspired by the tales of 19th-century British convicts transported to Australia – rebels who transformed adversity into opportunity, just like the vines that flourish in this sun-drenched landscape. The wine itself is a vibrant expression of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. Its pale straw color hints at the crisp, refreshing experience to come. On the nose, you're greeted with a lively bouquet of citrus fruits—think zesty grapefruit and tangy lime— intermingled with the subtle, yet unmistakable aroma of passionfruit and hints of herbaceousness. Each sip is a burst of flavour on the palate, delivering a crisp, dry taste that's punctuated by a delightful minerality, with a long and clean finish. The light-bodied profile makes it incredibly easy to drink. The alcohol content at 12.5% ABV makes it a great choice for a variety of settings. Ideal serving temperature should be around 8°C, allowing the wine’s aromas and flavours to shine. This Sauvignon Blanc is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairing. Its acidity cuts through creamy textures, making it the perfect companion for seafood dishes like grilled prawns or pan-seared scallops. It also works wonderfully alongside salads, light cheeses like goat cheese and vibrant vegetable dishes like asparagus risotto. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or a newcomer to the world of wines, 19 Crimes Sauvignon Blanc will delight your senses and spark your imagination. It's an experience worth sharing, a celebration of stories, and a toast to the audacious spirit of the past.
