Description

The Warden Reserve Red Blend by 19 Crimes is an audacious tribute to the historical figures who oversaw Australia's early penal colonies. Much like the 'Warden' himself, this wine commands attention with a bold, uncompromising character. Crafted in South Eastern Australia, it is a Shiraz-led blend designed for those who appreciate a full-bodied, fruit-forward experience. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe dark cherries, blackberries, and enticing notes of mocha and vanilla bean. The palate is rich and mouth-coating, defined by intense dark fruit flavors—blackberry jam and plum—balanced by velvety tannins and hints of sweet American oak and chocolate. Its slightly sweet finish makes it an incredibly approachable and smooth drinker. This wine is more than just a bottle; it is a conversation starter. Thanks to the 19 Crimes augmented reality app, the label comes to life, allowing the 'Warden' to share his story, bridging the gap between historical intrigue and modern winemaking. It is the perfect choice for a casual dinner, a barbecue with friends, or a romantic evening where you want something robust yet easy-drinking. It pairs exceptionally well with hearty, high-protein dishes such as grilled steaks, slow-cooked lamb, or even a rich vegetable stew. If you are looking for a wine that balances complex, jammy fruit notes with smooth, oak-derived sweetness, The Warden is a 'criminal' delight you shouldn't miss.
